Libraries

Streamline your workflow with built-in material and environment libraries, while maintaining complete control through a customizable asset library that serves as your design system

3D asset library

Free 3D assets library - Vectary Elements

1. To access the free 3D assets, go to the left bar and click on the Workspaces tab.
2. From the dropdown menu select Vectary Elements a free built-in workspace with assets. This workspace is a default library.
3. Thematic categories with objects are available to you.
4. To place a 3D object on the scene, just drag it onto the stage or click it.

Your own 3D asset library (Design system)

All your designs can be imported into the current scene, so you can create and organize your own design system. Here are some ideas of how it can be used:

• Reuse 3D models
• Store 2D graphics
• Save scene templates
• Reuse hotspots and Floating UIs
• Reuse 3D animations

1. In the left panel, you can find the Workspace tab.
2. By default, you will see the Vectary Elements object library, but if you expand the drop-down menu, you will see a list of your workspaces. Select the desired workspace.
3. By selecting a workspace, you will see all workspace projects (including all folders).
4. Just drag and drop the desired project onto the canvas

<aside> ⚠️ Please note that the project is imported along with animations and interactions. Remove any unnecessary animations and interactions to achieve better performance.

Material library

Vectary offers a selection of free materials such as glass, wood, concrete, fabric, and more.

1. To access the material library, click on the object to select it.
2. In the properties panel on the right side, click the book icon.
3. To apply a material, just click on it or drag it onto the object.

Any selected material can be adjusted manually after being added.

Adding custom materials

Create your own material library that can be easily accessed and reused on all projects within that workspace.

To add custom material to the Library, right-click the object with the material and choose Add Material to Library.

That's all. The custom material is now added to the Library and can be used in the same way as any other library materials.

For each saved material, a new project is created, and this project is marked with the M icon:

<aside> 💡 Organize your workspace by creating folders to store materials according to their categories. Add keywords related to the material properties, or final use for the search function to find them quickly.

Pro and Business workspaces enable the creation of an unlimited number of projects, allowing for the formation of vast libraries of one's own materials.

In the materials library, you will find the folders from your workspace that have a project marked with an M
