# 3D Gaussian Splat
Gaussian Splat Layers allow you to import and visualize 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) assets directly within your scene. These point-based reconstructions offer photorealistic representations of scanned environments and are ideal for lightweight, high-fidelity visualizations.
## How to Use
To import a 3DGS file, open the Data Layers panel from the Action Menu and click the import button next to 3DGS. From there, select your desired file and use the scale option to adjust the size of the asset to fit your scene.
After uploading your Gaussian Splat, enter the desired asset name and confirm the correct location values. Use **Zoom** to quickly move to the asset if you cannot find it in the scene, then select **Submit** to add it to the **3DGS** section under **Data Layers**.
You can use the Select Tool located in the main toolbar to interact with your imported 3DGS assets. By entering Select Mode, you can click on the 3DGS layer in the scene to select it. Once selected, you can move, rotate, or scale the asset using the standard transform controls. If you no longer need the 3DGS in your scene, you can also delete it directly from this mode.
**NOTE:** To make the gizmo appear for a 3DGS asset, you must drag-select the asset; clicking directly on it will not display the gizmo.
