Browser-based 3D viewer for collaborative review of BIM and CAD models
Cloud-based collaborative 3D viewer supporting 50+ file formats including RVT, IFC, SKP, 3DM, and FBX. Architecture and engineering teams drag-and-drop models to generate shareable browser links viewable on any device without software installation. Includes plugins for SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit, plus BIM data management, annotation, and AI rendering tools. Acquired by Kujiale (Coohom) in 2020.

Why This Tool Exists
Architecture and construction teams need to share complex 3D models with clients, consultants, and remote team members, but distributing large CAD/BIM files requires recipients to have the same software installed. Email chains with screenshots lose model fidelity, and ad-hoc cloud storage like Dropbox provides no 3D viewing or annotation capability.
Modelo converts uploaded CAD and BIM files into interactive browser-based 3D viewers accessible via shareable link on any device. Teams can annotate directly on models, save camera angles, create 3D slide presentations, and review BIM property data without installing any software. Native plugins for SketchUp, Rhino, and Revit allow one-click upload from the design tool.
