How to send a 3D model to your client

Give your client a model they can explore. Open it in Core 3D Viewer on your iPhone, prepare the details you want to show, and send a link that works in a browser without an app or account

Get the iPhone app

Free download · iPhone, iOS 17+

  1. Open your model on iPhone

    In Library, tap + and choose a supported 3D file. Inspect the model and check that its geometry and scale are ready to present

  2. Add dimensions and focused views

    With Pro, use Dimensions to mark distances and Isolate to create saved views of specific parts. You can also share a model on Free without creating these annotations

  3. Create the share link

    Open Share and create a link while connected to the internet. The app uploads a package containing the model, dimensions, scene settings and a preview for the browser presentation

  4. Send it to your client

    Use Share Link or Copy Link to send the URL through your preferred message or email app. The recipient can rotate the model and explore its dimensions and saved views in a browser

  5. Keep the presentation current

    After changing the presentation in the app, use Update Model to upload the changes to the same link. Updating keeps the original expiry date. Use Delete Link when you want to stop sharing

Before you start

Free and Pro link limits

Free includes one active link for 7 days, with an upload package up to 25 MB. Pro includes up to 50 active links for 30 days each, with packages up to 100 MB and 2 GB of total storage

Anyone with the link can view it

A share link does not require a recipient account or sign-up. Treat it as accessible to anyone it is forwarded to. You can delete it in the app to remove the shared content

The limit covers the whole package

Upload size includes the model and supporting files, such as its preview, dimensions and generated USDZ copy. The package can be larger than the original model file

Try the client's view

Rotate the pergola and browse its saved views in the demo. It illustrates the interactive browser presentation your client receives. AR is a separate viewing option in the iPhone app and does not display dimension annotations

About Share a 3D model

Does my client need to install anything?

No. The link opens an interactive model in a browser. The recipient does not need Core 3D Viewer or an account

Can I share a model for free?

Yes. Free includes one active link lasting 7 days, with a package up to 25 MB. If another model already has your free active link, the app asks whether to replace it before creating the new one

Does updating a model give the link another 7 or 30 days?

No. Update Model changes the shared content while keeping the same URL and original expiry date. Links last 7 days on Free or 30 days on Pro from creation

Can my client change the model or its dimensions?

The browser presentation is read-only. Your client can explore the model, dimensions and saved views; editing the presentation happens in the iPhone app

Can I remove access before the link expires?

Yes. Open Share in the app and choose Delete Link. This removes the shared package from the server and stops that link from working
