Examples gallery

The Examples button in the top HUD opens a gallery of pre-seeded datasets. Use it to explore Scenaven without uploading your own files.

How it works

  1. Click Examples in the top-right HUD.
  2. Browse cards — each shows a title and short description.
  3. Click a card to activate that example on mesh-api.
  4. The viewer loads geometry the same way as after a user upload.
  5. Source appears in the scene tree with the example name.

Examples are stored on mesh-api under examples/{id}/. They are seeded during cloud deploy or on first Docker startup for on-prem.

Cloud vs on-prem

Mode Gallery source
Cloud Examples bundled with the tenant deployment
On-prem Same catalog, read from local storage volume

The UI is identical; only where assets live on disk changes.

What you can do with an example

Once loaded, treat it like any other session:

  • Change Rendering style and scalar field
  • Apply Warp or Planar clip filters
  • Use Extract tools from the HUD
  • Step through time if the example includes a timeline
  • Open the Python session in the agent rail (when enabled)

When Examples is disabled

The gallery requires a connected mesh-api:

  • Check Infrastructure — status should be Connected.
  • Sign in again if your cloud session expired.
  • For on-prem, confirm the Docker stack is running.

Tips

  • Start with examples to learn the sidebar and HUD before uploading large VTKHDF files.
  • After experimenting with filters, select Source and add a new filter, or reload the example from the gallery for a clean state.
