+The following points need to be checked before exporting the geometries and uploading to the ig.creator
-     * alphanumeric
+===== Naming =====
-     * use camel case and start with capital letters, e.g. TestLeg1, Leg2, TestLegUpper3 etc.
+The naming order of the geometries should be as follows:
-     * be in English if possible
+     * Alphanumeric
+     * Use camel case and start with capital letters, e.g. TestLeg1, Leg2, TestLegUpper3 etc.
+     * Be in English if possible
      * The names should be used 1:1 like this also in the database because it allows the direct assignment.
-**Types of Exports**

-     * standard.obj - OBJ representation of the standard resolution
+     * Standard.obj - OBJ representation of the standard resolution

-     * deformation.json - Deformation in JSON format
+     * Deformation.json - Deformation in JSON format
-     * deformation.glb/gltf - Deformation
+     * Deformation.glb/gltf - Deformation
-**Exporting and Storage**
+===== Exporting and Storage =====
      * Geometries should be assigned either to the sub-domain Basics - if they are of general use for a manufacturer or to a specific domain - if they are used only for this domain.
-**Uploading Data**
+===== Uploading Data =====
-     * For uploading the data to creator you can use the [[ig:gfx:assetloader|IG.GFX.AssetLoader]]
+==== Manually ====
-     * Simply execute the geometries.bat file to upload all the geometries to the creator.
+To upload a geometry manually into the IG.Creator, first of all, go to the //Assets/Geometries// page.
-//''local_dir:\domain\sub_domain\geometries.bat''//
+Click the //New// button on the right top corner to create an empty instance. Fill the mask with a //Name// and a //Description UL//. Leave the rest empty.
+{{ :ig.guidelines:creatinggeometries_01.png?800 |}}
+Click //Update// to confirm the creation.
+After creating an empty instance, this needs to be filled.
+Go to the //Assets/File// page. Make sure the left part of the table is showing //Geometry// as header. If not, change with the help of the drop down menu.
+Select the created Geometry. The right side the table should be empty.
+{{ :ig.guidelines:creatinggeometries_02.png?800 |}}
+Click the //New// button to create a new data slot. Use the shown setup and confirm with //Update//.
+{{ :ig.guidelines:creatinggeometries_03.png?800 |}}
+Initially the created slot is empty. This is indicated by the file size **-1**. As soon the slot is filled, the file size changes to != -1.
+To upload a geometry, //Browse// for it, make sure the file ending is matching the instantiaded above and //Uploade// it.
+{{ :ig.guidelines:creatinggeometries_04.png?800 |}}
+After uploading the geometry, it can be checked inside //Assets/Geometries//. A right click on the geometry opens a menu. From this menu, choose //3D Preview//. Make sure pop ups for the IG.Creator are allowed and than a new window with the geometry will pop up.
+{{ :ig.guidelines:creatinggeometries_05.png?600 |}}
+==== Asset Loader ====
+  * For uploading the data to creator you can use the [[ig:gfx:assetloader|IG.GFX.AssetLoader]]
+  * Simply execute the geometries.bat file to upload all the geometries to the creator.
