It would be nice if the MacOS version of S3D included QuickLook for all the formats it supports but especially DXF, DWG, STL, and Shapr files.

I built my own Shapr3D QuickLook that supports 3MF, STEP, Shapr, etc. But I really wish you would embed this directly in your app on Mac OS. Please…

Something like this:

  
If I write the code example and send it to you can you embed it?

I was just asking b/c there’s currently an issue with materials on shapr exported usdz files on the latest AVP beta. The materials show in quick look in iPadOS and MacOS but not when opened on the Apple Vision Pro. If you had materials working in other formats, it may show properly on the AVP. I’m really hoping this is happening b/c I’m on the released MacOS but beta AVP (non-beta still works as far as I know).

How hard would it be for you to support materials in quick look? And how did you get shapr format to work?

PS You’ve got my vote for supporting this in shapr. Hopefully they take you up on the code sharing.
