Preview first
Best when you are unsure the file is complete, correct, or the right version.
Decision中文
View CAD Online or Convert Directly?
Both paths are valid — the right one depends on whether you still need to confirm the model or already know exactly what to deliver. Previewing first reduces risk; converting directly saves a step when the outcome is clear.

Convert directly
Best when the downstream format and use are already decided.
Mixed approach
Preview the questionable files, batch-convert the trusted ones.
When previewing first pays off
If the file came from a third party, an unfamiliar source, or a long email thread, a quick online preview confirms the geometry and assembly before any conversion effort.
It also avoids delivering a broken or wrong-version model to a client or factory.
When converting directly is fine
If you already trust the source and know the target format (for example STEP to glTF for the web), converting directly removes an extra click.
For large, repeatable batches with a known good pipeline, direct conversion is usually the most efficient.
FAQ
Is previewing always necessary?
No. It is most useful when the file is unfamiliar or the version is uncertain; for trusted, repeatable inputs you can convert directly.
Does previewing change the file?
No. Online viewing is read-only and does not modify your source model.
Can I preview and then convert in the same session?
Yes. After confirming the model online you can continue straight to glTF, OBJ, FBX or STL conversion.
