Missing or hidden parts is a common problem among 3D teams that have multiple designers working on the same project.

If your design contains duplicate parts, such as screws or chair, Meshmatic’s Duplicate Detector is a simple and powerful tool that finds and instantiate duplicate meshes for your entire design. Speed and efficiency are the two key requirements to achieve optimized real-time visualizations in VR. Now when you edit or render the model, all instances receive the updates instantly and get processed more efficiently. Instead of processing identical duplicates and using additional resources on your device, you can instantiate the duplicates and create clones of them. Whether your model is made up of thousands of bolts, or contains the same door model numerous times, when your design is being rendered, these duplicate parts will each processed repetitively. It sounds like a waste of resources, right? That’s exactly what happens when a game engine processes duplicate meshes in your file. Imagine re-processing the same exact 3D mesh a hundred times. Whether you’re optimizing a Sketchup or Revit architectural file, or an engineering model created in Solidworks, there’s a few essential points to keep in mind, and we’ve rounded them up in this list of best practices when optimizing 3D models for VR. However, optimizing 3D files for real-time applications has many nuances that can be overwhelming for 3D modelers. For many 3D modelers that are experienced in modeling, rendering, and animation, 3D optimization can be a daunting process – especially if you’re optimizing a 3D model for real-time application! A quick Google search of “how to optimize 3D files” will bring up a handful of suggestions – like reducing polycount and getting rid of excess vertices.
