Projects

This page shows a list of projects, which configure how data is processed to create scenes. You can search for and update existing projects available to you or create a new project.

Order By​

You can sort the projects by created date, name (alphabetical) or name (reverse alphabetical) using the combo box at the top-right of the page.

You can filter the projects by name using the search bar at the top right of the page. Click on it and start typing to perform a query. The search results list will update each time you press a key.

note

The search is case-insensitive and does not support autocomplete or wildcards.

New​

Click the New project button to create a new project. You will be taken to the Create Project pages to configure the new project.

Settings​

Choose a project name (required), who else can edit the project, and whether or not to allow scripts.

When done, click the Next button at the bottom right of the page.

Visualisation​

Choose assets from the library to add to the new project. You can also add custom rules if required.

Click Add asset to open a list of assets in your library. Select the assets that you want to add to your project then click the close button to close the dialog.

You can also add custom rules that will be applied to the entire project. The rules are specified as JSON and can be used to change the property of any node in the project, for example changing the diffuse value of a specific material or removing nodes from an asset for security reasons. See Appendix A - JSON Template Processor Rules for more information.

When done, click the Next button.

Share​

Choose the groups that can access the published scene (these are defined by your server administrator).

When done, click the Next button.

Publish​

Choose a name for the scene (defaults to the project name) and a publication schedule.

There are 3 options for the publication schedule:

  • Manual (default)
  • Daily at specific hour
  • When the source data changes

Choose an option and click Save to save the project and publish it later, or Save and publish to save and publish the project now. If you chose the latter, open the Jobs page to view the status of the project publication.

Once the project has been published into a scene, there are 2 ways to open it:

  • Click the View button to the right of the scene on the Jobs page
  • Click the Virtalis logo at the top left of the page to open the Scenes page then click on the scene
