Hello all,
Are there any recommended apps for android or windows to view Rhino files?
I just need something simple and easy for my colleagues, who are sculptors, to rotate and zoom around the 3d model.
I saw there is an app for iPad, is it still up to date? Is is worth purchasing an iPad for ?
Why not just export the model to an obj model or other file format that they regularly use?

Hi all,
I made viewport.xyz using rhino3dm.js.
It’s a free tool to preview and share 3D models right from your computer or phone browser.
Here’s a video of how it works:

Give it a try, it’s still a very primitive project and surely has many bugs, but I’m excited to get the community’s feedback on it.

I currently have the only computer. We need to make an investment to purchase a tablet or laptop. I want a viewer for Rhino, because I dont want to convert everything. Too much hassle.
