Experience a new dimension of collaboration with our new 3D viewer: Threads3D! Seamlessly integrated into Threads, this innovative feature revolutionizes how teams visualize and interact with 3D models.

To upload a CAD model to a relevant thread, you'll need to click References > Add (+) > select a CAD model (see accepted file types and sizes below), and add a title and description for the reference.

Once the connection to the 3D modeler has been made, you'll be able to click the orange square on the reference card to view the model.

Annotation and Collaboration

You can foster dynamic collaboration and efficient design review with built-in annotation tools. Add comments, notes, and markups directly onto 3D models, promoting real-time feedback and communication. To leave a comment on a component, simply right click to display the comment window. Any comments made to the model will be propagated in the relevant thread where the model was uploaded under the "all" section.

File types and sizes 

Currently, Threads3D can support STEP (.stp or .step) and STL (.stl) files of a maximum size of 128 MB.
