To Create a Publication, starting from the Console go to Console > Company Catalog > Publications > Create New Publication

Create New Publication. Go to Setup and Edit in Viewer as described above.

Share Publication

Once a Publication is set, it is ready to be shared with Named Users and Guest Users. Named Users can be from your organization or from another organization. They can be added as a single user, by Teams or as part of the entire Organization.

You can also allow Guest Users to access the Publication.  First of all, set the number of Guest Users that can use a Publication simultaneously, by batches of 5 up to 25 Guest Users. More Guest Users can be added by batches 25 (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, …).

You can choose for Guest Users to either avoid login, or force login.  For example, when sharing to a large audiance, you may opt for no login.  If you need to protect your Publication and still want Guest Users to access it, you can list up the Guest Users that are allowed access.

To share a Publication, go to Console > Company Catalog > Publications > a Publication's menu > Share.

Share by URL and Token

Each Publication has a unique URL formed by the prefix “https://3dmapping.cloud/publication/” and a unique Token. Tokes are especially useful when sharing Publications with Guest Users and accessing Publications from the SDK. The Viewer embedded via SDK provides a specific Token entry field to directly launch a Publication. A developer can also Preset the Token for a specific implementation.
