3DM viewer
Open a Rhino 3DM file to turn it round, see its layers and measure it, without Rhino. Free, with no account or uploads.
Its objects are listed under their layers, at the size the file says.

A little help along the way
Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; the model is never sent anywhere.
- Open the modelDrop it on the page or press Choose a file. An OBJ shows its colours when its .mtl file and pictures are chosen with it; a .gltf needs its .bin and pictures too. Choose them all at once.
- Turn it roundDrag to turn it, scroll or pinch to zoom, and drag with the right mouse button or two fingers to move it. Fit brings the whole model back into view; Front, Top, Side and Corner look at it from those sides.
- Say its size, if it has noneSTL, OBJ and PLY files do not say what their numbers mean. The page reads STL files in millimetres, as 3D printers and CAD programs write them; if the size looks wrong, choose the unit the file was made in.
- Choose how fine curves are, for CAD filesSTEP, IGES and BREP files keep exact curves, which are cut into flat triangles to be drawn. Fine suits most parts; Very fine follows curves more closely and makes a larger model, Draft a quicker, coarser one.
- Measure itThe size of its box is shown at once, with its surface area, and its volume when it is a closed shape. Press Measure, then two points on the model, for the distance between them; a press near a corner snaps to it.
- Look insideCut slices through it across its height, width or depth. Parts lists every piece by name: hide one, or press it to see which it is.
- Save a picturePicture saves a PNG of the model as it is shown, at the size set under More options, on a clear background if you like.
Questions people ask
- Why are some surfaces missing?
- openNURBS cannot cut Rhino's surfaces into triangles itself, so a surface shows only through the display mesh Rhino saved with it. Save again in Rhino with Save small off, or export a STEP; the page counts what it left out.
- Are layers and blocks kept?
- Yes. Objects are listed under their layers, and blocks are drawn wherever they are placed.
- Is my file uploaded?
- No. It is read in your browser by rhino3dm, McNeel's own library, downloaded from KeepSimp the first time.
This page is the 3D viewer, opened for this one job; every other tool it has is one press away. Each of its settings is explained on the 3D viewer's own page.
