Create online: follow these steps
Explore the library without signing in. Choose Create to work on a private project. Sign in, then request a trial if needed. A trial request needs approval; it does not start a paid subscription.
- Name it. Click New project, explain the equipment and learning goal, then save.
- Add drawings. Upload PDF, PNG or JPEG files, up to 5 MB each, 10 files / 20 MB per project. Keep dimensions and part names readable.
- Read and review. Select up to three drawings and choose Read drawings and propose plan. AI proposes supported parts and dimensions. It also lists missing information and unsupported parts. Nothing is automatically approved. Copy an eligible proposal into the editable plan, check every value against its source, save and confirm plan content review. You can also enter a plan yourself.
- Build and inspect. The online Blender worker must be connected before the Build button becomes available. After a completed build, refresh generated models, inspect its parts and choose Use this model. Download its GLB if needed. A plan review alone is not a generated model.
- Review labels. Inspect each selected part, check its name and write what it does from the source material. Save drafts with unknown functions left blank. Confirm label review only when complete.
- Create a lesson. Choose orientation, assembly, disassembly, maintenance or overhaul. Select source manuals and click Propose lesson steps for an AI draft, or write the steps yourself. Read every citation, resolve missing parts, and explicitly copy a suitable proposal into the editable lesson. Add a short title and instruction for each step; select the relevant part, source document and page. Preview with Previous and Next. The camera focuses on that part. Save, then confirm lesson review after checking every instruction.
- Share. Confirm that you want to disclose the model, labels and instructions, then create a lesson link. Copy it immediately. Anyone with that link can view the learning lesson; original drawings and manuals remain private. Use Turn off link to revoke access. Changes to reviewed inputs invalidate old links.
Current limits: drawing interpretation supports five bounded part builders, not arbitrary complete equipment. The pilot worker runs on the project Mac and requires it to stay awake and connected. The Build button is disabled when its heartbeat is missing; permanent cloud worker hosting is not yet configured. AI can propose cited lesson drafts; people must check the source pages and approve them. These suggestions do not establish engineering accuracy. Shared lesson previews do not establish an approved service order or physical removal path. Final receiving-system imports remain to be qualified.
The eight-step reference below and downloadable guides also cover the local workspace. The online steps above describe the current web interface.
Start here
Choose Library to explore existing equipment. Choose Create to start your own project. The homepage introduces the product; the library is for finding models, and the creator is for making them.
1. Name it
Click New project. Enter a project name and application. Save and continue. Use a specific equipment name and describe who will learn from it.
2. Add your inputs
Add model inputs such as pictures, descriptions, dimensioned drawings, exploded views or CAD. Add knowledge inputs such as manuals, handbooks and approved procedure documents. Give each source its proper role. Select the drawings for the build. Adding a file does not mean its geometry has been interpreted.
3. Review the model
Check the model before labels: dimensions, orientation, separate parts, missing surfaces and internal detail. Imported GLB review is available. Arbitrary drawings-to-Blender generation remains under development; do not treat a proposed model as verified equipment.
4. Review labels
Review proposed names and functions against the documents. Correct unclear labels and match them to the proper parts. Labels describe the model; they do not prove that its geometry matches the real machine.
5. Choose the experience
Choose Explore for component understanding, Assembly for part relationships, Procedures for operation or maintenance, or Determine later to prepare the model first.
6. Review the experience
Check the proposed steps against the source procedure. Each step should identify its component, explanation, camera focus and expected action. Do not invent service order, torque or replacement limits.
7. Build and inspect
Inspect the complete experience. Check focus, labels, visibility, playback and reset. Check that every step shows the intended component and that the model returns to its starting state.
8. Export
Export the reviewed model and keep its source and label records. Genesis uses GLB. Apple Field IQ uses USDZ with separate named parts. Receiving applications still need their own import and device checks.
Explore a library model
Open Library, choose a model and click it. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom, select a part and toggle labels. Use assembly or exploded views when the model provides them. Reset returns to the starting view.
Learn through an experience
Show Me demonstrates the steps. Let Me Try lets you practise with help. Evaluate Me checks understanding without hints where supported. Mission availability and narration depend on the chosen model.
If something does not work
No sound: click Play, check voice and device volume. Lost camera: Fit model or Reset. Missing geometry: check your input and the source coverage. Offline creation: the local service must be running. A displayed animation is not an approved physical removal path.
