To get most out of ShowRoom and the Virtual Reality experience, it is important how you export your 3D model. The following best practice rules apply no matter what 3D program you are working with.
Position
The 3D model should be at position 0 of your coordinate system. That way the model will be placed right in the center of the VR world.
Parts
Export only important parts that are relevant for you to see in VR. That will reduce import and render time.
Groups
Try to cluster your model into groups as much as possible. This will make it easier for you to edit your model in ShowRoom.
As an an example: HowTo export from 3DS Max
HowTo for other programs to follow (Rhino, Maya, AutoCAD, CATIA, SolidWorks)
Settings
The Units must be set to 1 Unit equals 1 meter. Customize / Unit Setup
Preparation
Place your 3D model at the zero point in the coordinate system.
Materials
Name your Mesh sections (materials) properly so you can find them easily in ShowRoom.
