Vectary has its own library of 3D objects, materials, and environments. You can also organize your own library from your projects.
3D asset library
Free 3D assets library - Vectary Elements
- To access the free 3D assets, go to the left bar and click on the Workspaces tab.
- From the dropdown menu select Vectary Elements a free built-in workspace with assets. This workspace is a default library.
- Thematic categories with objects are available to you.
- To place a 3D object on the scene, just drag it onto the stage or click it.
Your own 3D asset library (Design system)
All your designs can be imported into the current scene, so you can create and organize your own design system. Here are some ideas of how it can be used:
- Reuse 3D models
- Store 2D graphics
- Save scene templates
- Reuse hotspots and Floating UIs
- Reuse 3D animations
- In the left panel, you can find the Workspace tab.
- By default, you will see the Vectary Elements object library, but if you expand the drop-down menu, you will see a list of your workspaces. Select the desired workspace.
- By selecting a workspace, you will see all workspace projects (including all folders).
- Just drag and drop the desired project onto the canvas

Material library
Vectary offers a selection of free materials such as glass, wood, concrete, fabric, and more.
- To access the material library, click on the object to select it.
- In the properties panel on the right side, click the book icon.
- To apply a material, just click on it or drag it onto the object.
Any selected material can be adjusted manually after being added.

Adding custom materials
Create your own material library that can be easily accessed and reused on all projects within that workspace.
To add custom material to the Library, right-click the object with the material and choose Add Material to Library
.
That's all. The custom material is now added to the Library and can be used in the same way as any other library materials.
For each saved material, a new project is created, and this project is marked with the M
icon:
In the materials library, you will find the folders from your workspace that have a project marked with an M
