Transferring Files to Server Device

AR 3S and AR 3S Pro were formerly known as ARES and ARES Pro.

Working with 3D CAD models is one of the most important aspects of AR 3S. And to be able to manipulate your CAD files in AR 3S Pro, you first have to make the files available to your server (e.g. your PC).

Transferring Data to Server Device

Open the file explorer on your server device and navigate to the "3D Objects".

Drag and drop the file into the aforementioned folder and the file should now be available within AR 3S Pro – please refer to this guide for instructions on how to upload files.

Troubleshooting

To be able to use your own 3D CAD models in AR 3S, you are required to have an active valid license. If you are using AR 3S in demo mode, you can only access default demo files.

"3D Objects" folder cannot be found 

Under Windows 11, access to the "3D Objects" folder has been made a bit more difficult , since it is no longer there by default. 

In this case, a regular folder can be created in the usual manner and named "3D Objects" – this folder will be treated like the default folder in Windows 10 by the AR 3S application.
