Projects

A project holds everything you build in the editor: objects, materials, textures and render settings. It lives in your account and opens in any browser you sign in to.

Where they live

On the dashboard, the Projects section lists the projects of the open space. In the Personal Space it has two tabs:

• My projects: The projects you created outside a workspace.
• Shared: Other people's projects where you are a collaborator.

Each project has a menu, through the ellipsis or a right click, with the actions below. It only shows what your role allows.

Creating and opening

New Project creates an empty project and opens the editor. With a workspace open, the project is created in it.

In the editor, the File menu also creates projects and has Open project..., to open another one without going back to the dashboard.

The editor also opens without an account. In that case the project stays in the browser, and saving downloads a .tnp file.

Saving

The project saves by itself right after you stop changing it. Save, in the File menu, saves right away.

Settings

The project settings are in the editor:

• General: Name, description and topology preference.
• Activity: What was done in the project and by whom.
• Collaborators: Who has access and with which role. See Sharing.
• Advanced: Deleting the project, owner only.

Duplicating

Duplicating creates a full copy of the project. The copy is yours and starts with no collaborators and no public link.

Deleting and restoring

A deleted project goes to View trash, on the projects page, and stays there for 30 days. During that time it comes back with Restore. After that, or when deleted from the trash, it is gone for good, along with the community posts made from it.

Only the owner deletes, restores or erases a project.

Importing and exporting

The File menu has Import, to bring models from other programs, and Export, which creates one file with everything or one per object.

Tinypoly file

Tinypoly file, in Export, downloads the whole project as a .tnp file. It comes back in two ways:

• As a new project: With Import on the projects page, or by dragging the file onto the list.
• Inside a project: With Import in the editor, or by dragging the file onto it.

The assets in the file still come from their source project, so they only show for people with access to it.
