Collections

Use Collections to group related 3D models for projects, themes, or sets. Collections help you curate without cluttering your main library by auto-hiding included models outside the collection view.

What is a Collection?

• A named set of models you choose from your library
• Designed for curation: models in collections are hidden from general views by default, but always visible inside the collection
• Models can belong to multiple collections

Quick start

1. Select one or more models in the grid
2. Click the “Collection” button in the selection toolbar
3. Create and save your new collection
4. You’ll jump into the collection view where the selected models are shown (including any that are hidden)

Working with Collections

Create a collection

• Enter selection mode (click a card, or use the checkboxes) and choose the “Collection” button
• Give it a name (optional: add tags/category/cover if supported in your build)
• Save: all selected models are added and auto-hidden from general views

View a collection

• Click a collection card to open it
• Hidden models are always visible inside the collection view so you can work with your full set

Add a model to an existing collection

• From the model details drawer
  • Open a model’s details (click a card → opens the model details drawer)
  • Scroll below the Model Preview and use “Add to Collection” → pick the target collection
  • The model is added and immediately marked hidden outside collections
• From the collections drawer (great for bulk adds)
  1. Enter selection mode in the grid (click a card or use the “Select” button) and choose the “Collection” action in the toolbar.
  2. In the drawer, switch to the Existing tab.
  3. Pick the destination collection and save. Every selected model is appended at once and marked hidden outside collections.
  4. Close selection mode when you’re done—the drawer remembers which collection you last used during the session.

Remove a model from a collection

• Open the model’s details drawer
• Below the Model Preview, use:
  • “Remove from Collection” → choose which collection to remove it from
• If the model doesn’t belong to any collection after removal, it will be unhidden automatically
• Remove multiple items with select mode
  1. Open the collection you want to tidy and click Select to enter selection mode.
  2. Choose the models to drop, then hit the Collection button in the selection toolbar.
  3. The drawer opens with a Remove from collection panel. Confirm to pull the selected items out without deleting their files.
  4. When you exit selection mode, the view refreshes—any models no longer in a collection become visible in the main library again.

Delete a collection

• Open the collection you want to delete (or use the collection management UI)
• Delete it
• Auto-reconcile: any models that are no longer in any collection are unhidden

Hidden model behavior

• On add: models added to a collection are marked hidden
• In collection view: hidden models are shown by default so your set is complete
• In general views: hidden models are suppressed by default to reduce clutter
• On removal: a model stays hidden as long as it belongs to at least one collection; if it belongs to none, it’s unhidden automatically
• On delete: after deleting a collection, models that aren’t in any remaining collection are unhidden

Tip: If you can’t find a model in “All Models,” it may be hidden because it’s in a collection. Open the collection to view it, or enable any “Show hidden” filter/toggle (if available) to surface it.

FAQs and tips

• Can a model be in multiple collections?
  • Yes. It remains hidden from general views until it’s removed from all collections.
• Why don’t I see “Remove from Collection” for a model?
  • That action is disabled if the model isn’t part of any collection yet.
• Why don’t I see “Add to Collection” enabled?
  • You need at least one collection created first. Create a collection from selection mode, then add the model.
• Where are the add/remove buttons?
  • In the Model Details drawer, just below the Model Preview.

Troubleshooting

• “Add to Collection” is disabled
  • There are no collections yet. Create one from the grid’s selection toolbar (“Collection” button) and try again.
• “Remove from Collection” is disabled
  • The model doesn’t belong to any collection. Open a collection that includes it or add it first.
• A model disappeared from the main grid
  • It’s likely hidden because it was added to a collection. Open the collection or enable any “Show hidden” filter (if your view supports it).

If you have feedback or need a bulk workflow (e.g., bulk remove from the active collection), open an issue—those enhancements are easy to layer on.
