What is in scope?
For PlayCanvas, define the asset, destination, and release condition before editing. Keep a clean source copy and state why unit scale is relevant to coordinate policy.
Platform workflow
3D asset coordinate system policy for PlayCanvas browser runtime delivery

Decisions to make
What can block delivery?
For coordinate policy in PlayCanvas, treat unresolved up and forward axes as blocking. Decide whether it needs a technical fix, additional evidence, or a qualified reviewer.
What proves it is ready?
For coordinate policy, require a representative result in PlayCanvas, the accepted export settings, and a clear outcome for pivot and origin. Record who approved the final package.
Practical answer
Treat this as a focused delivery check: for PlayCanvas, begin with unit scale, then test up and forward axes and pivot and origin in the actual destination. Keep the accepted export settings and any unresolved coordinate policy risks with the source file.
Recommended workflow
Inspect the source asset
Open the original file before making changes. For PlayCanvas, record its format, units, dependencies, and current unit scale so the coordinate policy pass has a reliable baseline.
Check unit scale
During coordinate policy for PlayCanvas, establish the expected state of unit scale. Resolve or document any gap before moving on to up and forward axes.
Test in PlayCanvas
Do not rely on the authoring viewport alone. For coordinate policy, load a representative export in PlayCanvas and verify up and forward axes together with pivot and origin.
Package the result
For PlayCanvas, keep the accepted export, its settings, and a short note about unresolved risks. Name the person responsible for the final review of coordinate policy.
Acceptance criteria
| coordinate policy check for PlayCanvas | PlayCanvas pass condition for coordinate policy | Evidence to keep for PlayCanvas coordinate policy |
|---|---|---|
| unit scale during coordinate policy for PlayCanvas | For PlayCanvas coordinate policy, the source and revised asset use an agreed value for unit scale. | Keep PlayCanvas coordinate policy before-and-after values and the setting that changed. |
| up and forward axes during coordinate policy for PlayCanvas | The coordinate policy result for up and forward axes matches the expected behavior in PlayCanvas, not only in the editor. | Keep target-side evidence for PlayCanvas coordinate policy, such as an import log or captured test. |
| pivot and origin during coordinate policy for PlayCanvas | The recorded result for pivot and origin meets the PlayCanvas release requirement for this coordinate policy job. | Keep the accepted PlayCanvas result and the reviewer name for coordinate policy. |
| transform baking after coordinate policy for PlayCanvas | The coordinate policy handoff for PlayCanvas contains only the files needed downstream. | Keep the PlayCanvas export preset, fallback, dependencies, and open risks from coordinate policy. |
Production notes
An asset can look correct in its source application and still fail after import into PlayCanvas. Treat coordinate policy as a translation problem between tools, with unit scale and up and forward axes checked on both sides.
For PlayCanvas, choose one authoritative unit scale, up axis, forward axis, and origin policy. Apply that convention at export time, then verify transforms and up and forward axes after a clean re-import.
Write down the unit scale, up axis, forward axis, origin, and transform-baking rule before assets enter the shared library. Apply this coordinate policy guidance to the actual PlayCanvas delivery path.
Common failure modes
Unexpected change: unit scale
During coordinate policy, compare the source and destination values for unit scale. Do not continue until the difference is explained and assigned to the asset or the PlayCanvas pipeline.
Destination mismatch: up and forward axes
For coordinate policy, capture the PlayCanvas result and isolate the responsible layer. A clean authoring preview is not proof when the exported up and forward axes result no longer matches the baseline.
No pass condition for pivot and origin
Define an observable coordinate policy result or move the decision to a qualified PlayCanvas reviewer. Do not hide an unresolved pivot and origin risk behind a general “ready” status.
Preflight checklist
- Before coordinate policy, confirm that PlayCanvas is the actual runtime platform destination, not just an intermediate preview tool.
- For PlayCanvas, keep an untouched source file for coordinate policy and record the starting state of unit scale and up and forward axes.
- Verify pivot and origin in PlayCanvas during coordinate policy rather than assuming the editor preview is authoritative.
- For PlayCanvas, save the approved export settings, fallback file, and owner of any remaining coordinate policy work.

FAQ
How should I plan coordinate policy for PlayCanvas?
For PlayCanvas, start with unit scale on the untouched source file. It gives you a baseline before the coordinate policy pass changes geometry, materials, metadata, or export settings.
What should the PlayCanvas coordinate policy checklist include?
During coordinate policy for PlayCanvas, record the source format, units, texture locations, material slots, exporter, destination version, and observed up and forward axes behavior.
Which unit scale requirements matter most?
The coordinate policy pass is complete when unit scale, up and forward axes, and pivot and origin have been tested in PlayCanvas, the export opens correctly, and remaining review has an owner.
What happens when up and forward axes does not pass review in PlayCanvas?
For PlayCanvas, use a qualified reviewer during coordinate policy when pivot and origin cannot be verified automatically or when licensing, device, marketplace, or domain rules affect approval.
