Detail View on Object

Title Image

The Title Image is the primary visual representation of an object in DMIx, displayed as the main thumbnail or preview image for easy identification.

2D & 3D View

The 2D & 3D View allows users to view objects in either a flat 2D format or interactively in 3D, providing a comprehensive visual representation of the object.

Share Link

Share Link enables users to generate a URL for sharing the object with internal or external partners, allowing for easy collaboration. The receiving party must be logged into DMIx and at least needs permission to view the shared object.

Contained in Collections

Contained in Collections lists the collections where the object is currently stored in their own DMIx Cloud, helping users track and organize the object within their DMIx library.

Full Screen View

The Full Screen View option expands the object to fit the entire screen, allowing for detailed inspection of textures, materials, or designs.

Associated Colors

Please refer to ‘Contained Objects’.

Contained Objects & Associated Colors Across Format Types in DMIx

Different format types in DMIx can include contained objects (embedded files within a primary file) or associated colors (linked color data relevant to the object). While many format types in DMIx can include contained objects and/or associated colors, only "Materials" and "Compositions" allow direct access to these elements via the "Contained Objects" or "Associated Colors" button in the interface.

• "Compositions," clicking on the "Contained Objects" button will show the stored textures, maps, and other embedded elements.

• For "Materials", clicking on "Associated Colors" will reveal linked spectral or defined color data.

• Other format types may have these elements, but they cannot be accessed via these buttons in the interface.

Download/Exports

Download/Exports allows users with permissions to download the object in various file formats for use in external design or production tools. Available formats include:

Materials

• Material Zip (Specular/Gloss)

• Material Zip (Metallic/Rough)

• glTF (Specular/Gloss)

• glTF (Specular/Gloss, converted to sRGB)

• glTF (Metallic/Rough)

• glTF (Metallic/Rough, converted to sRGB)

• U3Ma

• Single Repeat (Baked)

Colors

• qtx file

3D objects

• Geometry (.gltf Specular)

• Geometry (.gltf Metallic)

Composition

• Composition (.gltf Specular Color Managed)

• Composition (.gltf Specular SRGB)

• Composition (.gltf Metallic Color Managed)

• Composition (.gltf Metallic SRGB)

These formats ensure compatibility with various design, rendering, and simulation tools, providing flexibility for users across different stages of product development. Not all object types can be expected in the same file format. The file formats available for download/export are dictated by the object type.

Attachments

Attachments are additional files, such as documents or references, linked to the object, providing supplementary information. There are no strict limitations regarding file formats that can be uploaded as attachments to objects in DMIx—generally, any file format can be attached. However, there are some practical considerations and recommended formats based on how DMIx processes and interacts with different file types.

• Any file format can be uploaded as an attachment to an object in DMIx.

• Attachments are not processed within DMIx but are stored for reference, documentation, or additional information. They are not for native processing (except in specific supported formats like 3D models and textures).

Physical Material Information

Physical Material Information includes data on the material's physical properties, such as weight, elongation, thickness and bending behavior, ensuring accurate real-world representation.

PaX Attributes

PaX Attributes are standardized metadata linked to the object, used for managing and organizing specific properties of the respective object type within the DMIx ecosystem. For further information refer to chapter ‘Attribute View On Object Level’ in Section PaX.
