The ModelLink 3D plugin for SketchUp packages your model with iOS AR support, a thumbnail, and rich metadata — all in a single 3DF™ package (.3df).
The plugin adds capabilities you can't get with a direct .glb upload.
The plugin exports both GLB and USDZ formats. iPhone and iPad users get native AR through Apple Quick Look — no app required.
A 1200x630 preview image is captured from your current SketchUp viewport. It appears in your gallery, dashboard, and social media previews.
Set a display name, description, project reference, and SKU during export. These flow through to your viewer, gallery, and social sharing previews.
Everything is packaged into one 3DF™ file — GLB, USDZ, thumbnail, and metadata. Upload once, everything is configured.
When you share a viewer link on Facebook, LinkedIn, or iMessage, your model's name, description, and thumbnail appear automatically.
Fine-tune environment lighting, tone mapping, exposure, and shadows from your dashboard. Settings persist per project.
Add the plugin to SketchUp via the Extension Manager
Extensions → ModelLink 3D → Export 3DF™
Drop your .3df file on modellink3d.com
Send the link — clients view in browser or AR
The plugin is included free with every plan, including the 30-day free trial.
