Getting Started With AR

Learn how to share your first 3D model in augmented reality with ModelLink 3D. It's easier than you think.

Share:

Augmented reality used to require specialized apps, expensive development, and technical expertise. Not anymore. With ModelLink 3D, you can share 3D models in AR with just a few clicks.

What You'll Need

Step 1: Export Your Model

If you're using SketchUp, install our plugin and export directly to .modellink3d format. Using another tool? Export to GLB — most modern 3D software supports this format.

Step 2: Upload

Log into your dashboard and click "Upload Model." Select your file, give it a name, and hit upload. That's it.

Step 3: Share

Once uploaded, you'll get a shareable link. Send it to anyone — when they open it on their phone, they can view your model in AR instantly. No app required.

"I sent my client a link and 30 seconds later they were seeing the kitchen design in their actual space. Game changer."

Tips for Best Results

  1. Optimize file size — Smaller files load faster on mobile
  2. Check your materials — Make sure textures are included
  3. Test on your own phone first — Always preview before sharing
