Step 3: Select your general assembly.
Select the file that best represents the general assembly of your product.
🚨 We often find this is the largest file within the zip, but it's best to check against the CAD hierarchy, as this can't be changed later.

Use the Change Vertical Orientation and Change Facing Direction buttons to set your product the right way around.

Click save.
Step 2: Add any animations you wish.

Add another keyframe to mark the end of an animation.
