This displays the CAD conversion wizard.
All files processed need to be compressed into a ZIP file. Each file call made counts as an API call to RenderDraw's server, and if multiple CAD files are present, each conversion will count as an API call.

Select your ZIP file, ours is "62CUNH.dwg.zip" from the file upload menu

Status messages are displayed based on the conversation happening between Salesforce and RenderDraw's API

Once you locate your record and you've added the 3D Scene Director component to your page, let's add the converted drawing to this visualization. Click on the Visualization tab, then the Attributes section.

Success! We saved the scene settings.

Once the component reloads, and on each subsequent loading of this visualization, the newly converted file will be displayed. Now you can use RenderDraw to set the scene around your newly converted CAD file
