We support lots of formats, and add more whenever we can.
However, there are so many 3D file formats from so many different sources that sometimes they will have to be converted before uploading to Sketchfab.
Format | Description | Conversion Tips |
.3DM | OpenNURBS Initiative 3D Model (used by Rhinoceros 3D) | Use Rhino to export a supported format. Recommended: OBJ + MTL |
.C4D | Cinema 4D file | Use the Cinema 4D Exporter, or use Cinema 4D to export a supported format. Recommended: FBX |
CATPart / CATProduct | CATIA files | Use CATIA to export a supported format. Recommended: STL, WRL. Or export a CAD format like STEP or IGS, then use other CAD software to convert to a supported format. |
.EASM / .SLDASM / .SLDDRW / .SLDPRT | SolidWorks files | Use one of our SolidWorks workflows. |
.FMZ | FormZ Project file | Use the FormZ Exporter, or use FormZ to export a supported format. Recommended: OBJ + MTL |
.IAM / .IDW / .IPT | Autodesk Inventor files | Use the Inventor Exporter |
.LXO | Luxology MODO file | Use the Modo Exporter, or use Modo to export a supported format. Recommended: FBX |
.MA / .MB | Maya ASCII & Maya Binary files | Use the Maya Exporter, or use Maya to export a supported format. Recommended: FBX |

.PLN | ArchiCAD project file | Use ArchiCAD to export a supported format. Recommended: 3DS |
.RVT | Revit project file | Use the Revit Exporter. |
.SHP | GIS geospatial vector shapefile | Use the BlenderGIS add-on to import the SHP file into Blender, then use the Sketchfab Blender add-on to upload to Sketchfab, upload the .BLEND file directly, or export and upload a supported format such as OBJ. |
.SKP | Google / Trimble SketchUp file | Use the SketchUp Exporter, or use SketchUp to export a supported format. Recommended: OBJ + MTL (SketchUp Pro); FBX (SketchUp Pro); Collada/DAE (SketchUp free) |
