How to import STEP files

What is a STEP file?

The STEP CAD file format which have a .step or .stp file extension, are a data exchange format applied in the computer aided design (CAD) industry. It is primarily used to transfer real-world mechanical and architecture designs between different CAD software tools like SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk Fusion

To provide a seamless experience, as a part of our import process your models scale will automatically be adjusted to fit the scene in JigSpace if they do not have any scale-properties, and any inverted normal’s will be corrected.

If your STEP files have scale properties, they will be applied in JigSpace at a 1:1 real world scale when viewed in augmented reality.

Import a step file

Importing your own STEP file is the same process as importing any other 3D model or CAD file.

  1. Open your Jig presentation in edit mode, or create a new Jig
  2. Click Add content menu
  3. Select Import CAD file
  4. Locate and select your .STEP or .STP file
  5. Click open


Your STEP file will then be uploaded, compressed, and standardized to work in the JigSpace editor.
