# What are Assets: Its uses and properties

This section explains what assets are, outlines their key properties and uses, and shows how to add them to your project.

## What are Assets?

Assets are all the resources you can use in your models, including **textures, materials, fonts, 3D objects, and other elements**. They help you customize, enhance, and render your parametric designs more realistically.

## Properties & Uses in Projects

-   **Fonts** allow you to add and apply different text styles to your 3D or 2D elements.
    
-   **Vector Graphics** are images made up of **points, lines, and shapes** defined by mathematical equations, rather than pixels. Unlike raster images, they can be **scaled up or down without losing quality**, making them ideal for illustrations, diagrams, logos, and parametric designs.
    
-   **3D object** include digital files that stores the **geometry, structure, and sometimes textures or materials** of a three-dimensional model. These files can be imported, exported, and used in different software for modeling, rendering, or 3D printing.
    
-   **Texture** files are images or patterns applied to the **surface of a material** in a 3D model to give it color, detail, or visual realism. They define how a material **looks**, such as its color, pattern, reflectivity, or roughness. You can **add your own texture files** or **upload from the BeeGraphy community**. The platform offers a **wide range of textures**, from fabrics and clothing to architectural surfaces and more, giving you plenty of options to customize your materials.
    
-   **Scene** is the **complete 3D environment** where your models exist. It includes all **geometry, materials, lights, cameras, and other objects** in a project. In parametric modeling, the scene lets you **visualize, manipulate, and interact** with your design as a whole, providing context for how all elements relate to each other.
    

## How do I **Add Assets?**

1.  Choose the asset you want to work with and select it.
    
2.  In the **top-right corner**, click the option to **add a new asset**.
    
3.  Upload your file or select one from the **community library**.
    
4.  Give your asset a **name** and click **Create** to add it to your workspace.
    

## **Asset Sharing**

When you share a model, its associated assets, such as textures and fonts, are now shared along with it. This ensures the model opens and displays correctly for everyone who receives it, with no missing materials or fonts.
