Floor plan export types explained
Every finished project can be shared as a live interactive 3D link or downloaded in five formats. Here is what each one is, when to reach for it, and where it opens — so you always pick the right export.
Share
Publish 3D model
Interactive 3D linkPublish an interactive 3D link anyone can open — no editor needed.
Turns your project into a live, hosted 3D walkthrough at a shareable URL. Recipients can orbit, zoom, and explore the space right in their browser with nothing to install and no account required.
Best for
- Sending clients an interactive preview
- Embedding a live 3D tour on a listing or website
- Sharing on social or in an email
Opens in: Any web browser (desktop & mobile)
Export
Export GLB
.glbCompact, all-in-one 3D model file.
The modern standard for 3D on the web and in AR. GLB bundles geometry, materials, and textures into a single lightweight binary file that loads fast and looks great everywhere.
Best for
- Web & AR viewers
- Game engines (Unity, Unreal)
- Real-time 3D and embeds
Opens in: Blender, Unity, Unreal, web/AR viewers
Export STL
.stlWatertight mesh built for 3D printing.
STL describes raw surface geometry as a mesh of triangles. It is the universal format for slicers and 3D printers when you want a physical scale model of the floor plan.
Best for
- 3D printing a physical model
- CAD and CAM workflows
- Rapid prototyping
Opens in: Cura, PrusaSlicer, most CAD tools
Export OBJ
.objWidely supported 3D geometry format.
A long-established, broadly compatible format that stores geometry and references materials. Ideal when you need to bring the model into traditional 3D and rendering software.
Best for
- Rendering & visualization
- Importing into legacy 3D apps
- Interchange between tools
Opens in: 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Blender
Export Floor Plan (PNG)
.pngCrisp, ready-to-share raster image.
A high-resolution top-down image of your 2D floor plan. Drop it straight into listings, brochures, PDFs, and presentations — no design software needed.
Best for
- MLS & real estate listings
- Brochures & flyers
- Slides and documents
Opens in: Any image viewer or editor
Export Floor Plan (SVG)
.svgScalable vector plan that stays sharp at any size.
A vector version of your floor plan that scales infinitely without losing quality and can be edited downstream. Perfect for print, large formats, and custom branding.
Best for
- Print & large-format signage
- Further editing in vector tools
- Pixel-perfect branded plans
Opens in: Illustrator, Figma, Inkscape
