Model Management

Modelibr helps you organize and manage your 3D model library with automatic thumbnails, version control, and easy navigation.

Uploading Models

Drag and Drop

The easiest way to upload models is to drag and drop files directly onto the Model Library panel.

Model List

Supported formats: GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, 3MF, Blend

What Happens After Upload

  1. Model Created - A new model entry appears in your library
  2. Thumbnail Generated - The worker service renders a preview image
  3. Ready to View - Click to open in the 3D viewer
Batch Upload

You can drag multiple files at once. Each file becomes a separate model.

Organizing with Categories

Use the category sidebar (left of the grid) to organize models into groups:

  • Right-click anywhere in the sidebar and choose Add category, then type the name directly in the tree
  • Right-click a category to Add subcategory, Rename, or Delete it — deleting removes the whole branch, and its models become uncategorized
  • Drag model cards onto a category in the sidebar to move them — dragging a selected card moves the whole selection
  • All shows every one of your models; Unassigned collects models that aren't in any category

The Categories toolbar button hides or shows the sidebar; a badge on it reminds you that a category filter is active while the sidebar is hidden. The sidebar appears on the standalone Models tab — model grids embedded in packs and projects are not category-filtered.

Deleting Models

Models are soft deleted to the Recycle Bin, allowing recovery if needed.

  2. Select Recycle
  3. Model moves to Recycled Files
note

Deleting a model with multiple versions will recycle all versions together.
