Learn how to upload a local dynamic component to the cloud using the built-in connection with the 3D Warehouse. You can make your uploads public or private and either share with the world or use the cloud as a backup solution.
- After you create a local library of…dynamic components such as this one,…you should consider storing these models in the cloud.…You gain certain advantages by doing so.…For example, you can access them from anywhere…using any machine.…And it can also act as a free backup system for your models.…When you upload models to the 3D Warehouse…you have the option of storing them…either publicly, which is the default, or privately.…If you store them publicly,…they're shared with the world and anyone can download them…and use them for any purpose.…
If you store them privately,…then only you have access to that information.…So you can think of it as a private…cloud backup solution if you like.…The way that this works is you don't access…the dynamic components that you want to put…in the cloud from the Components window.…Instead you need to open the files directly.…So I'll go into my file system,…go into my library,…and open up a file.…Say I'm going to open up this base cabinet…drawer door model.…
So in this particular model,…
