Modelo review
A broad 3D viewer for design teams, with useful collaboration and presentation tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Modelo is a browser-based 3D model viewer and collaboration platform for architects, engineers, designers, and teams working with CAD and BIM files. It supports online and mobile viewing, animated walkthroughs, presentation mode, measurements, section cuts, annotations, shareable links, website embedding, project organization, task management, and team permissions. Its format coverage includes RVT, RFA, IFC, FBX, STL, 3DM, SKP, OBJ, BLEND, GLTF, GLB, MAX, and many other 2D and 3D asset types.
The published plans show a freemium model with a free plan and three listed paid options. Pro Monthly costs $30 per month and provides essential 3D tools and storage for individuals. Pro Yearly costs $199 per year and adds comprehensive 3D features with annual savings for solo users. Team Monthly costs $150 per month and focuses on collaboration and project management for small teams. These tiers give individuals and small groups distinct paths, although the monthly Pro starting price may be a consideration for teams seeking only basic model viewing.
Modelo’s main strength is breadth: it combines client-ready views, walkthrough waypoints, measurement tools, section cuts, comments, sketches, markup, downloadable model links, project walls, and mobile VR viewing. Integrations with Revit, 3ds Max, Vectorworks, SketchUp, and Rhino support established design workflows, while web, iOS, Android, and API access extend how models can be shared and accessed. Choose Modelo when format coverage, presentation, and collaboration matter together. A simpler viewer may be a better fit for teams that only need basic browser-based model inspection.
