Share 3D models with colleagues, customers and suppliers for browser-based review. Use comments, markups and supporting files to highlight details, explain questions and discuss changes alongside the model.
Upload your model and share it with the people who need to review it. Give the discussion a common starting point: an interactive view of the same geometry.
Use comments and markups to highlight the details you want to discuss. Add supporting files when a drawing, image or document helps explain the question.
Read the feedback alongside the model and clarify outstanding questions with the people involved. Use the discussion to inform the next design or project decision.
A message such as “which bolt are we using?” can leave room for misunderstanding. Highlight the component and explain your question alongside the model.
Use markups to draw attention to the area under discussion, whether it is a mounting point, an opening or a surface that needs a closer look.
Add a comment describing what needs checking. Give reviewers enough context to understand the issue and provide useful feedback.
Some questions need more than a view of the geometry. Add supporting files to the discussion so reviewers can consult the relevant drawing, reference image or project information.
Use the model to show the detail and the supporting material to explain the requirement.
Ask another team member to inspect a feature, explain a proposed change or provide feedback on a model before the next project step.
For example:
“Does this mounting arrangement leave enough space for assembly?”
Share a model to discuss geometry and raise specific questions. Add relevant drawings or documents to provide the context behind your request.
For example:
“Please check the highlighted feature against the attached drawing.”
Give customers an interactive view of the model and a way to explain their questions. Discuss the details together before agreeing on the next steps.
For example:
“Is this connection position suitable for your installation?”
Rotate and zoom to understand the geometry behind a comment. Use the available viewing and measurement tools to inspect the details relevant to the discussion.

A 3D model review is a discussion of a model’s geometry, details or requirements. With 3DViewerOnline, reviewers can explore the model in a browser and use comments, markups and supporting files to communicate feedback.
Yes. You can share models for review with people outside your organisation. Check the sharing settings and account requirements for your chosen workflow before inviting reviewers.
Yes. 3DViewerOnline includes comments and markups for discussing models. Check the plan comparison for the collaboration features available to your account.
Yes. Supporting files can be added to provide context for the discussion, such as a reference drawing or an image explaining a requirement.
No. Reviewers can view the model through their browser without installing desktop CAD viewing software.
See the supported-formats guide for the current list of CAD and 3D formats and their upload requirements.
To access comments and markups a premium or business plan is required. Check the plans page for more details.
