Make sure the origin of the asset is in a logical place&#x20;

![](https://355016117-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4GxXTleDi20avEZNXI7G%2Fuploads%2FtJMDDtLUZDAoNkq2ODUI%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=709a3c6a-306a-43c0-af99-b600b9984cfd)

You can change the origin like the above screenshot, or right-click and "set origin to geometry"

Then go to "BU Tools" and set your name as "author"

![](https://355016117-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F4GxXTleDi20avEZNXI7G%2Fuploads%2Fd52J1FEzuf1DsfCZLKfo%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=fb222d6e-10a0-4f21-a321-5041ff00b5f7)

Select what you want to upload from the outliner, if it needs to be a collection then select the  collection itself. Once you have your selection, press "Prepare to mark assets"

Then name your assets logically and descriptively. Mesh Example: SM\_Door\_Damaged/ Material Example: M\_Wood\_Peeled\_Paint

Press "Mark Assets" when finished naming.
