Installation

InEight Model is cloud-hosted software with a Microsoft Windows-based application focused on 3D model content. Model is not a model-authoring environment; rather, it provides the capability to transform engineering and architectural models into construction and owner models.

The Model Windows application is supported by plug-ins and a locally stored cache folder (InEightModel_Cache). Before you download and run the Model application on your desktop, review the Client System and Mobile Device Requirements Specification.

Local admin permissions are required to install InEight Model.

Model (Integrated with Platform)

In Model (integrated with Platform) you can create projects, user accounts, and assign permissions from Platform to have a unified user, project, and permission experience. When you create a new user account, the user receives a Welcome to InEight email with SSO login information.

You can install Model using the Welcome to InEight email you received when you were added to InEight Suite. When you install Model you can create a new project or select an existing project.
