Understanding and Troubleshooting 3D Model Rendering
Last updated: April 15, 2026
When MACP inspection videos are uploaded to PIONEER, the system can automatically generate 3D models (if the project is configured for 3D). This article explains rendering stages, common issues, and how to resolve them.
Rendering Process Stages
3D model generation progresses through the following stages:
Ingesting – The system is processing the uploaded video
Rendering 3D – The 3D model is being generated
Complete – The model is fully rendered and available for viewing
Common Issues and Solutions
Long Rendering Times
Rendering typically takes up to 24 hours. During high-volume periods, processing may take longer.
What to do:
Wait up to 24 hours for completion
If rendering exceeds 24 hours, contact Support
Failed or Incomplete Models
3D models may fail to render properly due to:
Excessive camera movement during or after the scan
Poor lighting conditions
Unclear pipe connections or structural details
Dirt, water, or debris on the camera lens
How to Resolve Rendering Issues
If a model fails or appears incomplete, Support can assist by:
Trimming unnecessary footage from the video
Reprocessing the inspection through the rendering workflow
Adjusting video parameters to improve model quality
