Make sure to clear the cache in your browser.

In most browsers you can usually clear cache by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R on Windows, or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac.

Sections are not loading, what can I do?

A common cause for this issue is to have uploaded model files with incorrect names during the creation of a new project.

Make sure that during creation of a new project you uploaded files with the names model.gltf and model.bin. Using different names can interrupt the process of translating files into a 3D model.

To learn more about how to solve this, see Prepare Model for Upload.
