WHY IT EXISTS

Why This Tool Exists

The Problem

AutoCAD users struggle to share 3D models and design data with web applications, game developers, and cloud platforms due to format incompatibility. Converting CAD files for web use traditionally requires multiple tools and manual processes.

The Solution

Plugin exports AutoCAD solid bodies directly to JSON format (version 4.5), preserving metadata, colors, and transformations. Generated files work seamlessly with three.js editor/viewer and other web-based 3D platforms.
