Click to browse to select obj or c4d 3d model files into your scene

## Storing Local Assets

We recommend that you save your assets at the Documents/VideoCopilot/Models and Material folder, as that is where Element will default to link files. Storing models at that location will allow models to be accessed in the Element **Model Browser**.

## Model Browser

By storing your 3d assets (obj or c4d files) at one of the above locations, you will be able to access your model using the [Model Browser](/element2/user-interface-scene-setup.md). If your assets are missing after you've moved them to one of the above location, you may need to close the Element 3D window and reopen it.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://video-copilot.gitbook.io/element2/importing-3d-objects-into-element/importing-3d-objects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
