Update an imported 3D model

Swap an imported model for a newer version of the file without losing its placement.

Changed your design and re-exported the model? You don't have to rebuild the scene — replace the file in place and keep the placement you already set up.

The 3D Objects panel — the upload icon (Replace model) swaps the file for every instance

Replace the file

  1. Export the updated model from your 3D tool the same way as before — see Export your 3D model.
  2. Open the 3D Objects panel in your 3D scene.
  3. On the model you want to update, click Replace model (the upload icon).
  4. Pick the new .glb, .gltf, or .obj file.

The new file replaces that model everywhere it's used — every placed instance, plus any future copies, switches to the new version, and the position, rotation, scale, and height you set are kept.

There's no separate "version history" — Replace model is how you push an updated file. If you'd rather start from scratch, Remove the object and Upload the new file as a brand-new model instead.
