Overview of Modelo
Modelo is an online platform that allows for the sharing and viewing of 3d models without the need to download and install applications.
Easy to use across devices:
Modelo uses simple drag and drop 3d file sharing that can be viewed across devices (tablets, computers, laptops, etc.) for anyone with a network connection. These models can then be shared by emailing a url link to recipients to view the model.
Immersive, full 3d model uploads:
The model uploader is able to create a walkthrough, and create comments tethered to specific views to highlight and pre-organize what they want the viewer to focus on when sharing the model. This can allow for a more focused and specific conversation as opposed to panning around a 3d model without any specific talking points in mind.
You can upload supported model file types like; Sketchup (skp), Revit (rvt), Rhino (3dm), 3d format (obj and stl), 3ds max (fbx), Navisworks (nwd), Autocad (dwg), Vectorworks (vwx) and Rhino files with textures (zip).

Receiving a shared model
You should have a url link in an email from the sender. Click the url link and your browser will open with the 3d model sent to you. As a viewer, you can pan, zoom and move around the whole 3d model, you can also access the tools menu to cut a section, measure, zoom and pan, and enter full screen. The walkthrough button will play the walkthrough the sender created. The comments tab will show the views and comments the sender set up as well.
*Shared links to view models only last one day for the free version of Modelo.
*With a free account, you can only review 3 comments and pre-saved views.
