    Questions about the 3D preview

    • There is no 3D preview available for my product.
      • If the 3D preview is not showing, it means that your original file didn’t pass the CAD analysis. You can check the analysis result for a product in the “Manage Your Products” dashboard.

     

    • The 3D preview says “Preview is not available”
      • The uploaded model can be too heavy to be processed live by our platform, you must ask to your TraceParts Smart-publishing contact to put the preview in cache.

     

    • The 3D preview doesn’t display my updated product geometry
      • All the 3D previews are cached in order to have the best performance on our platform, you must ask to your TraceParts Smart-Publishing contact to clean the cache for your product.

     

    • Which CAD formats are supported with the 3D preview?
      • 3D previews are compatible with the formats STEP, SAT and SolidWorks.

    Questions about the template

    • Can I change the value of a ProductID?
      • You can change it but the initial Product created under the former ProductID will not be impacted/updated by future batch submitting, as the former ProductID is not existing anymore in the xls template. As there is no functionality at the moment to delete a ProductID, you must ask to your TraceParts Smart-publishing contact to delete the old Product created with the former ProductID

     

    • Can a product be classified in several categories of the same classification?
      • Yes, it’s possible. For the TraceParts classification you must create a new column named “TRACEPARTS_Classification_Category_ID_2”, for your own classification you must create a new column “Classification_Category_ID_2”. If you need more categories, just add a new column like above and increment the numeric value ie: “TRACEPARTS_Classification_Category_ID_3” and so on.
