Loading a File

AR 3S was formerly known as ARES.
Working with 3D objects is one of the most important aspects of AR 3S. For this reason, there are several ways to import your own files to incorporate the import as smoothly as possible into your workflow.
If you are using AR 3S in demo mode, you cannot upload your own files. This only works with a valid active license.
Please refer to this guide for licensing AR 3S and this guide for licensing AR 3S Pro.
