ARfield opens an IFC, a steel model or a site scan in your browser — no plugin, no upload. Measure real dimensions, tap any element to see what it is, pin notes where they belong, and send a link a client or contractor opens on their own phone, in AR at full size.
Open ARfield →Tap Load a model and choose a file. ARfield reads it and converts it in your browser — your file never leaves your device during conversion.
Measure between any two points in metres or millimetres. Identify any element — tap a wall and see its type, plus whatever your model records: family, level, tag. Read straight out of the IFC. Layers hides a floor or a whole element type in one tap, and See-through fades the building so you can look at the structure behind the finishes.
On a phone, tap View in AR to stand the building on the real site at full size and walk around it. Note pins a comment to the exact element, Snapshot captures the view with your measurements and notes on it, and a share link opens for anyone — no app, no account.
Everything converts to the formats phones and browsers understand (GLB for Android & desktop, USDZ for iPhone) — automatically.
IFC is the open BIM format Revit, Archicad and Vectorworks all export natively (File → Export → IFC). Element names, types, levels and tags come through wherever your model records them, so tapping a wall tells you what it actually is.
DWG is not read directly — it's a 2D drawing format with no 3D building data. Export to IFC (architectural) or STEP (steel) instead.
STEP, IGES and BREP from Tekla, SolidWorks, Inventor and Fusion are read by a real CAD kernel — so the fabricator's steel opens alongside the architect's IFC in the same tool.
Scanned a room, site, or object with an iPhone/iPad LiDAR app (Polycam, Scaniverse, RealityScan) or desktop photogrammetry tool (CloudCompare, Meshroom)? Export as GLB, OBJ, or PLY — captured surface colour comes through automatically.
Android
Tap “View in AR” to open Google Scene Viewer and place the model in your space.
iPhone / iPad
Tap “View in AR” to open AR Quick Look in Safari — no app to install.
Computer
No AR mode — instead you get a full interactive 3D preview with studio lighting.
Sharing
Every model can be shared as a link + QR code. The recipient opens it on any device.
