View asset capacity

On the Design Asset Management page, metering is performed based on the size of assets. Different editions of DataV products have different capacity limits. Design assets are isolated based on different workspaces, and the design assets of each workspace share a capacity pool.
  • The asset size of the Enterprise Edition instance is 5GB.
  • The asset capacity of the Professional Edition is 10GB.
  • The storage capacity of the Premium Edition instance is 99GB.
In the upper part of the Design Assets page, you can view the used and remaining assets of My Design Assets in the current workspace. Asset Capacity
Note Assets are isolated by workspace, but the asset capacity is calculated by account. My Design Assets may have no design assets, but the remaining capacity is partially occupied. This may be because the design assets of other workspaces occupy the resource capacity.

    Important
    • You can upload a model by using a design asset. Currently, you can only upload a complete embedded gltf model file or glb model file. The separated gltf format (.gltf +.bin) is not supported.
    • If the loaded model has broken surfaces, it may be that the number of triangular surfaces in a single mesh exceeds 4294967296/3 ≈ 1431655765. Therefore, for the problem of broken surfaces in complex models, it is recommended to simplify the patches in the modeling software before uploading them.
