- Create a new project: Upload a
.glbmodel file. The requirements for preparing the.glbfile are described in a separate document. - Continue working: Upload a previously saved
.zipworking file from your computer.
The controls in the 3D View follow the standard Web Editor conventions and are described in the corresponding documentation.
2. Marking Areas with Area Marker

The tool applies the changes to the currently open working file and displays the results visually in the 3D View. This step does not download a file to the computer.
During the editing process, you can use:
- Reset Camera to restore the camera view to its default position.
- Camera Speed to adjust the camera movement speed.
- NavMesh Stats to monitor Navmesh statistics.
5. Saving the Project or Exporting the Final Output
| Action | File | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Save Project | Working .zip file containing multiple files | Save the project locally for later editing |

Generate Navmesh, Save Project, and Download Navmesh are three separate operations:
- Generate Navmesh — applies the changes to the currently open working session.
- Save Project — saves the working file so that it can be reopened and edited later.
- Download Navmesh — exports the final Navmesh as a
.tjsnmfile.
