Models | Listing Type

Last updated 1 month ago

Each listing type has required fields that must be completed before the listing can be either saved or promoted to Production. If any required fields are left blank a red i icon will be marked on the corresponding tab to remind the user what still needs to be filled out.

New Hub Listing

Create

To begin creating a new listing:

  • Go to the MY LISTINGS page.

  • Click on the MODEL icon.

This action starts the create listing process.

Listing Type Modal

After clicking the Model icon:

  • The LISTING TYPE modal will appear.

  • Choose the type of listing to create:

    • New Hub Listing

    • New Version of an existing listing

    • Remix of another user's listing

To proceed:

  1. Select the NEW HUB LISTING option.

  2. Click the NEXT button to continue to the next step in the creation flow.

Upload

To begin uploading:

  • Click the UPLOAD button on the Upload tab.

Supported File Formats

You can upload files in any of the following formats:

  • FBX

  • OBJ

  • ZIP

  • GLTF / GLB

  • Most CAD formats

Make sure your file meets the format requirements to avoid upload errors.

Info

After uploading a file, you can begin filling in the INFO tab.

The Listing Name will auto-populate based on the file uploaded in the UPLOAD tab. However, you can edit this name to something more descriptive or user-friendly if desired.

Required Fields

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required and must be completed before creating the listing:

  • Name

  • Description

  • Thumbnail

Once these fields are filled out, you can click "Create" to finalize your asset listing.

To ensure MOTAR 3D Holodeck compatibility, you must upload a 3D Preview.

Accepted 3D preview formats:

  • GLB (single file)

  • GLTF (single file) Textures and animations are supported.

You can save your progress once you’ve:

  • Uploaded a file

  • Named the listing

  • Added a description

  • Uploaded a thumbnail

This allows you to return later and complete additional fields as needed.

A listing cannot be promoted from Sandbox to Production until all required fields have been completed.

Settings

From the SETTINGS tab, you can define important technical details about your model listing.

You’ll be able to:

  • Select Geometry Type: Choose between POLYGONS or TRIANGLES

  • Enter Polycount: Specify the total polygon or triangle count for your model

  • Mark Asset Features: Indicate whether your model includes TEXTURES and/or ANIMATIONS

Textures and Animations are not required for submitting a model listing, but including them may enhance listing compatibility and appeal.

Permissions

To configure access controls for your listing:

  • Navigate to the PERMISSIONS tab.

  • Click the LAUNCH button to open the Permissions Wizard.

Need a step-by-step guide?

After setting the appropriate permissions in the wizard:

  • Click the SAVE button to apply your changes.

  • This will also enable the option to adjust Hub Visibility for your listing.

Once permissions are saved, the Hub Visibility toggle will appear in the top right corner of the listing’s edit page.

  • Sandbox Listings: Visibility is OFF by default (not publicly visible).

  • Production Listings: Visibility is ON by default (publicly visible).

Digital Thread

  • The current version of the listing

  • Any future versions or remixes created from it

The DIGITAL THREAD tab provides a centralized view of a listing’s entire digital lifecycle. It captures and displays:

When creating a new listing, this tab will initially show only that listing. As you or others create new versions or remixes, those will be added to this view automatically.

You can return to the Digital Thread tab at any time by choosing to EDIT the listing from the MY LISTINGS page.

From the Digital Thread tab, users can set a listing as Authoritative or Certified—but only after it has been promoted to Production.

All listings remain in Sandbox until they are promoted and approved for Production. This means their authoritative or certified status cannot be applied until that transition happens.

Publish

Once all required information for a listing is complete and the listing has been saved, the PUBLISH button becomes available.

Publishing a listing moves it from Sandbox to Production, making it officially available for wider access.

After publishing, users will no longer be able to change files on the UPLOAD tab. However, you can still update:

  • Description on the INFO tab

  • Listing permissions

To publish:

  • Click the PUBLISH button.

  • The Permissions for Production modal will open.

  • Choose between:

    • KEEP CURRENT permissions

    • SET NEW permissions

  • For this example, select KEEP CURRENT and then click NEXT.

Choosing SET NEW permissions will overwrite the existing permissions for the listing.

Need help setting new permissions?

Full instructions on how to run the Permissions Wizard can be found at the link below.

The modal will close and the listing will be updated from Sandbox to Production.


Edit

To begin editing a listing:

  • Go to the MOTAR Studio – MY LISTINGS page.

  • Find your listing in the table.

  • Click the PENCIL icon in the ACTION column.

Editing Options

You can make changes in any of the following tabs:

  • UPLOAD

  • INFO

  • SETTINGS

  • PERMISSIONS

  • DIGITAL THREAD

If the user desires to update permissions settings, CLICK the MODIFY button in the PERMISSIONS tab to run the Permissions Wizard. Full instructions can be found at the link below.

Once all desired changes have been made, click the SAVE button. This will apply your edits and update the listing accordingly.


Delete

To delete a listing:

  • Go to the MOTAR Studio – MY LISTINGS page.

  • Click the PENCIL icon in the ACTION column to edit the listing.

  • Navigate to the DIGITAL THREAD tab.

  • Click the TRASH CAN icon in the ACTION column.

This will open the Delete Listing modal.

To confirm the deletion:

  • Type the word DELETE into the confirmation text field.

  • This will activate the DELETE button.

  • Click DELETE to complete the action.

Once deleted:

  • You’ll be returned to the DIGITAL THREAD tab.
