<h2>No importable file found - what does that mean?</h2>
<p>
It means that none of your files are importable. Online 3D Viewer tries to detect importable files
by extension. Check if your format in the <a href="index.html#supported_formats">supported file formats list</a>, and make sure that you use the
proper extension.
</p>
<h2>Failed to load file for import - what does that mean?</h2>
<p>
It means that an importable file format is detected, but the website failed to load the file. It usually
happens when you try to load a model from an external url.
</p>
<p>
To resolve this issue, check if your url works in a browser window.
<ul>
<li>
If it works, it means that your url is ok, but the website can't access it. Usually it's caused by a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS">CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)</a> policy violation.
It means that the server that hosts the model doesn't allow requests from a different origin. To resolve this issue, allow CORS requests on the server.
</li>
<li>
If it doesn't work, it means that your url is wrong. Fix the url.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<h2>Failed to import model - what does that mean?</h2>
<p>
It means that an importable file is found, the import process is started, but failed for some reason.
If the error message doesn't help, <a href="https://github.com/kovacsv/Online3DViewer/issues">create an issue on GitHub</a>.
</p>
<h2>Why does my model works fine locally, but not from an url?</h2>
<p>
Usually it's caused by a <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS">CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)</a> policy violation.
It means that the server that hosts the model doesn't allow requests from a different origin. To resolve this issue, allow CORS requests on the server.

<h1 id="model_display">Model display</h1>
<h2>Why is my model completely gray?</h2>
<p>
Some file formats are coming with no material information (e.g. stl). These models will be visualized
with a default gray color. You can easily change this color in the settings panel (<i class="icon icon-settings"></i>) on the right.
</p>
<p>
Some file formats are coming in multiple files, and material information can be in a separate file
(e.g. obj files are usually working with mtl files). Check the files panel for any missing files (<i class="icon icon-missing_files"></i>), and if you
have the file, import it together with the main file.
</p>
<h1 id="model_sharing">Model sharing</h1>
<h2>Why does sharing fail?</h2>
<p>
Online 3D Viewer doesn't store models, everything happens in your browser. Sharing possible only if your
files are coming from an external server. For example you can share a model that is loaded using the
open url button (<i class="icon icon-open_url"></i>).
</p>
<p>
When you drag and drop a model, or load it using the open button (<i class="icon icon-open"></i>), the model
is not publicly available, so in this case sharing is not possible.
