Scenes & Models

A scene is the digital-twin content currently loaded in realvirtual WEB. It can represent a machine, a production area or a planning layout. A delivery can contain one prepared scene or several examples that you choose from the model selector.

The preferred model is a GLB file with rv_extras metadata. Geometry, hierarchy, component configuration, kinematics information and signal references travel together, so the file describes the twin without a separate model schema or server-side scene configuration.

A prepared GLB can contain:

  • The visible machine geometry and hierarchy
  • Drives, sensors and transport behavior
  • Signal names and component references
  • Logic and simulation configuration
  • Saved information used by HMI, Planner or DES workspaces

The exact functions available in the viewer depend on the metadata included in that model.

Use the model selector when a delivery provides more than one model. The public demo is a prepared example that you can open without installing anything. A shared link can also select a specific scene and workspace for you.

  • Play / Pause starts or pauses drive, transport, source, sink and logic updates while the scene remains available for camera movement and selection.
  • Reset removes movable units and returns logic sequences to their initial state. It does not reset every drive or signal value.
  • Press Space to toggle Play / Pause or Shift+R to reset when the cursor is not inside a text field.
  1. Open a delivery link, local GLB or the public demo.
  2. If a model selector is available, choose the example or model you want to inspect.
  3. Open the hierarchy and select a drive, sensor or transport component to confirm that component information is present.
  4. Use Play / Pause to observe the simulation, then pause it before inspecting a precise state.
  5. Use Reset when you want to start a new material-flow run from a clean transport state.
