Templates define what a thing will be when it is instantiated in a
space.  Accounts have templates, but spaces don't.

So, I might log in to my account, create a "Big Box" template, and
upload an obj and mtl file to it.  Then I would create a "Possession"
from that template, which in the current UI is the "Add to inventory"
button.  Then to create a "Thing" in a space I would use the "Add
to..." drop down and pick a space.

So, accounts have templates and possessions.  Spaces have things which
reference a template id.  When the 3D viewer loads a space it gets a
list of all of the things in the space, looks at the template ID that
each thing references, and then fetches the models, materials, and
textures from that template to use to display a thing.

Not yet, but I'll see if I can set it up that way.  I didn't know
you'd submitted some already.  Thanks!
