Getting Started with vHUB

vHUB is our 3D Data conversion, Assets and Project management platform. To create a Project that uses 100% of the available features in vSTAGE, vHUB is a necessity, as it will allow us to manage User rights, add and edit 3D groups for the Organization to use, as well as create a library of various Media files.

To start your first vSTAGE Project, we need to fulfill some prerequisites in vHUB. 

• Have an account where the User possesses either an Administrator or Editor license.
• Upload 3D Data for conversion so it can be integrated to any future Project.
• Upload Media files (2D Images, Audio, Video etc.) that you might use as supplementary elements in your presentation

Login

To login, proceed to www.vhub.ch and input your credentials. You should have received an account and password from us.

Upload Your First Assets

Inside vHUB there are 5 important categories of functions the User can manage, Apps, Projects, Library and Admin, if the User account has an Administrator license. For now we will focus on adding Data to the Library.

Add a non-3D Asset

You can add all kinds of non-3D Assets (Images, Videos etc.) under the Media Tab in Library. Click the orange CREATE NEW MEDIA button on the top right.
You can find detailed instructions on the Media (login required) page.

Add a 3D Asset

Head to the 3D-Data tab found under the Library section and click on “IMPORT 3D-DATA” on the right. You’ll have to name your assembly and upload it to the page. Once uploaded you have to start the Import.
You can find detailed instructions in the Importing 3D Data to vhub (login required) page.
