What is the best way to upload a model to GrabCad?

When I upload a 3D model to my models in GrabCad it only appears in 2D and only fractional sections.

Hi John,
From what I could see in your library, you only have two models in which you uploaded empty "zip" folders:

42-x-20-1500-hot-tap-1.snapshot.4.zip
subsea-10in-rov-ball-valve-1.snapshot.2.zip

You must upload CAD files and images for the models to appear normally.
Greetings

Only files uploaded in their native format, uncompressed, will render and display. They can be in a sub folder. Some native file formats may still not display correctly. The very latest version Solidworks files won’t display. Inventor files won’t display.

From what I see you have created 2 sub folders but have uploaded no files.

My best suggestion is upload a STEP file and some JPG renders. That’s the only way to guarantee success.

Thank you all for feedback. Was trying to upload Inventor files, will change tack to dwg files.

Thank you all, I have a lot of models over the years and really want to share them.
To give back something to this community that has helped me at times.

And Thank you all.
