Digital Assets

The module of digital assets covers Resources, Digital Twins, and BIM Data.

Directory management of digital assets

In the Digital Assets module, the directory is a key tool for managing digital twin assets and resources. The directory bar displays all the directories that users can access, making it convenient for users to manage digital twin assets, resources, etc.

The directory provides rich management functions:

• • Create a new directory: Users can create new directories as needed and define who is visible to these directories.
  • Delete directories: Users who possess deletion permission can delete customized public directories to better organize and manage digital assets.
  • Directory sorting: Provides sorting functions by modification date, creation date, name, etc., supporting both ascending and descending order.

Directory type

The digital asset directory is divided into the following four types:

Type	Description
Department directory	With the creation of departments, the system will automatically establish corresponding directories for the unified organization and management of departmental data and resources. Department directories will be automatically deleted when departments are deleted.
User private directory	Personal storage space, named “My Space”, accessible and viewable only by the user themselves.
Public directories created by users	They are established by users with the permission to create new primary directories and are suitable for resource sharing and collaboration.
DLC resource directory	Public Directory and its subdirectories store digital twin resources launched by DataMesh. In the Resources, the DLC resource directory contains DLC model resources; in the Digital Twins, the DLC resource directory contains digital twin templates, digital twins, scenes, and attribute groups.

Upload resources

You can upload different types of files to the DataMesh FactVerse Services platform, each with its respective size limit.

File Type	File Extension	Size limit
Document	.pdf	256MB
Video	.mp4, .mov	256MB
Audio	.mp3, .ogg	256MB
Image	.png, .jpg	128MB
3D model	glb, fbx, 3mf, obj, ply, stl, rvt	500MB
Simulation data script file	.iotsim	128MB
Customizable resources	.zip	128MB

Upload customizable resources

Customizable resources include advanced resources, widgets, and personalized scenes, which usually require DataMesh to provide corresponding development support to achieve the desired customization functions and effects.

The ZIP file of customized resources needs to be uploaded to the FactVerse Services platform through DataMesh Importer, and the accelerated model files will be displayed as files with the extension “.dmasset”.

Upload documents, videos, audio, images, 3D models, data script files

Users can upload documents, videos, audio, pictures, 3D models, and data script files as needed.

Steps

The steps for uploading resources are as follows:

1. Select the directory where you want to store the resource on the Resources page, and then click the Upload button.

2. Click or drag files to the upload window. You can upload up to 10 files at a time.

3. Click the Upload button to start uploading files.

4. Click the Upload details button on the top navigation bar to view upload details of the files.

If a file being uploaded has the same name as a file in the directory, it will result in an upload failure. You can rename the file in the Upload details window and then upload it again.

5. After finishing uploading the resource, the server will accelerate the model files except for .rvt files. The acceleration service is supported by Unity Accelerator. Company administrators can configure the acceleration platform on the Acceleration Service Settings module of Enterprise Settings.

The icon for “Accelerating” is , and the icon for “Acceleration completed” is . Additionally, you can check the acceleration status information of models in the message center.

Manually accelerate model files

FactVerse Services offers model acceleration services that automatically optimize uploaded models to improve loading and rendering performance on various platforms. Additionally, users can manually trigger acceleration tasks by clicking the Refresh button on the acceleration status after the model upload is complete.

Manual acceleration tasks will enter the acceleration service’s queue. Since acceleration services are shared among multiple users, task completion time is influenced by the number of queued tasks and the size of the model.

If there are many queued tasks or the uploaded model is large, the acceleration task completion time may be longer. Conversely, if there are fewer queued tasks or the uploaded model is smaller, the acceleration task completion time may be faster.

Acceleration status is indicated by:

• • Green dot: Acceleration successfully completed.
  • Red dot: Acceleration failed.
  • Black dot: Waiting for acceleration.

RVT file conversion

You can convert RVT files to FBX models on the DataMesh FactVerse Services platform. The converted files can be used directly as model resources in DataMesh Studio or FactVerse Designer. Note: To use the RVT file conversion function, the file conversion service needs to be activated in the enterprise’s subscribed license.

Specifications for the file format conversion feature:

• • Supported file format: RVT files (Revit 2021 – Revit 2023).
  • Conversion to: FBX files (3ds Max 2023).
  • Reduction rate: 10%, 20%, 30%.
  • File size: Currently we only support online conversion and processing of BIM models smaller than 100MB. For conversion and processing requirements of larger models, please contact clientcare@datamesh.com.

Steps

1. On the DataMesh FactVerse Services platform, go to Digital Assets > Resources page.

2. Click the Upload button to upload files or click the Import from BIM 360 button to import files from BIM 360.

3. Click the corresponding conversion icon  for the RVT file to be converted.

4. In the pop-up Model conversion window, select the Convert to, Polygon reduction rate, and Merge rules.

Convert to: FBX format

Polygon reduction rate: When converting RVT files to FBX format, you can choose an appropriate reduction rate according to specific needs to balance the quality and performance of the model. On the basis of maintaining the original model structure, reduce the total number of polygons of the converted model by the selected percentage to simplify the model, save space, and enhance performance when viewing in the architectural scene.

Merge rules: Use this drop-down list to choose the way in which Revit objects are combined. Combining objects can reduce the number of objects in your 3ds Max scene and improve performance. Merge rules include the following options:

• • Do not combine components: Imports each Revit object as a single 3ds Max object.
  • Combine by category: Revit objects in the same category become a single 3ds Max object. The object has the name of the category and is placed on a layer with the same name.
  • Combine by family type: Revit objects belonging to the same Family Type become a single 3ds Max object. The object has the name of the family type and is placed on a layer with the same name.
  • Combine by material: Revit objects with the same material specification are consolidated into a single 3ds Max object. This object shares the same name as the material and is placed on a layer with a matching name. Revit metadata (series and category) does not appear in the 3ds Max Scene Explorer, and multi-dimensional/sub-object material information is lost.

The choice of merging method depends on your application scenario and requirements. If you are concerned about material organization, you can choose “Combine by material.” If you need to retain the original structure and details of the RVT file, you can choose “Do not combine components.”

5. Click the Confirm button to start the conversion process.

When the conversion status of the file shows “Processing completed,” the file is processed into the corresponding format of the model file and stored in the same directory as the original RVT file.

Import scene resources

Scene resources are model resources that constitute scenes, namely RVT files or zip files generated after processing RVT files (including component FBX files and Excel files containing component position rotation information and BIM information).

Note: Before importing scene resources, ensure that you have created the target architectural scene to correctly associate resources with the corresponding scene.

In the DataMesh FactVerse Services platform, you can import scene resources in two ways:

Method 1: Directly importing architectural scenes from resources

1. In the function module navigation bar, select Digital Assets, then click on Resources to enter the Resources page.

2. On the Resources page, click the import button corresponding to the RVT file you want to import to open the Import into the architectural scene window.

3. In the Import into the architectural scene window, select the architectural scene to import to, then click the Confirm button.

4. In the function module navigation bar, select Digital Assets > BIM Data to enter the BIM data page.

5. Click on the details button  corresponding to the architectural scene to enter the Architectural Scene Details page.

6. On the Architectural Scene Details page, check the latest status of the file. When the file upload is complete, the file status changes from “Local uploading” to “Pending processing.”

Method 2: Importing resources from the architectural scene details page

1. In the architectural scene details page, click the Import button to open the Select resource window.

2. In the Select resource window, choose the required resource (RVT file or zip format file containing component FBX files and related information), then click the Confirm button to import the resource to the architectural scene.

3. Refresh the page and check the latest status of the file. When the file status changes from “Local uploading” to “Pending processing,” it indicates that the file has been successfully uploaded.

Through the above methods, you can successfully import scene resources into the specified architectural scene. Please ensure the correct format of the resource files.

Process scene resources

The process of processing scene resources mainly involves format conversion and model building:

• • Format conversion: You need to convert the imported Revit (.rvt) file into a format suitable for DataMesh Inspector at first, which is a zip file containing component FBX files and zip files containing component position, rotation information, and BIM information.

The specifications of the file format conversion function are as follows:

• • • Supported file format: RVT files (Revit 2021 – Revit 2023).
    • Converted to: FBX files.
    • Average conversion time:
      • 1-200M: Within 3 minutes.
      • 200M-500M: Within 5 minutes.
      • 500M-1G: Within 10 minutes.
      • 1G-3G: Within 30 minutes.

To convert RVT files to zip files, you can follow these steps:

a). On the Architectural Scene Details page, select the RVT file to be processed (the file status is “Pending processing”).

b). Click the Process button and confirm in the prompt box for file processing instruction to start the format conversion.

The processing time may vary depending on the file size. When the file status displays “processing completed,” it indicates that the scene resource format conversion has been completed.

2. Model building: Once the scene resources are converted to a format suitable for DataMesh Inspector, the next step is to accelerate the model. This process mainly optimizes the model data in the scene, and the accelerated files (usually 3D models) have faster loading speeds to ensure smooth display of large-scale spatial scenes on mobile devices.

a). On the Architectural Scene Details page, select the model (zip) file to be built, you can choose one or more, then click the “Rebuild” button to accelerate the file.

b). Refresh the page and check the latest status of the file. When the acceleration process is completed, the status will display as “Accelerated.”

After completing these processing steps, you can use DataMesh Inspector to open this architectural scene.
