Renders a static (non-animated) 3D model attached to the object. \
This is the most common way to give an object a visible mesh.

## Options

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Model** | The 3D model asset to render. |
| **Open Model Editor** | Opens the model editor for the selected asset. |
| **Draw-Layer** | Which 3D draw layer the model is rendered on. Layers are defined in the scene settings and control draw order and per-layer render settings. |
| **Culling** | When enabled, the object is skipped while outside the camera view. Requires the model asset to have its BVH built; a warning is shown if it is not. |
| **Mesh Filter** | Expression to include or exclude individual sub-meshes of the model (by name/material). The meshes that currently match are listed below the field. |
| **Material Instance** | Per-object material overrides (colors, textures, blend settings) for this model. Only values not already fixed by the material appear. See {doc}`Material Instance <../materials/instance>`. |
