# 3D Assets

**Introduction**

Simplio3D provides an efficient way to manage 3d assets inside the platform, allowing users to **upload**, **assign status** and **save** them in categories. This is very useful when you build many product configurators and product views and want to easily manage each 3d asset to which product goes.

**Upload 3D files**

The platform supports 3 formats: **GLB**, **glTF** and **OBJ**. These are the most widely used 3D data formats for the web, suitable for web applications, virtual reality and augmented reality applications. Users can upload one or a group of files at a time.

Uploading and having the 3D asset ready is important before creating the product configurator in [**Products**](/learning-the-app/products.md). If you are new to 3D modeling or don't know how to source your 3D files, please see the [**Preparing 3D models**](/getting-started/prepare-3d-models.md) section.

**To learn how to edit 3D models for proper scaling using numeral blocks (great for tables, cabinets, closets, windows, doors, shelves, roofs and sheds), read this section:** [Modeling and editing 3D meshes to support numeral blocks.](/learning-the-app/products/create-options/numeral/modeling-and-editing-3d-meshes-to-support-numeral-blocks.md)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Simplio3D does not support groups, so you should avoid using them, especially if your configurator includes numeric options such as width, length, or height. More information** [**here**](/getting-started/prepare-3d-models/numeral-keep-the-proportions.md)**.**
