# Uploading a SketchUp Model to Visiofy

In this quick 30-second video tutorial, you’ll learn how to import, view, and share your 3D models interactively with clients and colleagues.

Before You Export from SketchUp

To make sure your model looks correct in Visiofy, check a few details before exporting.

Follow these quick checks before exporting:

- Add a floor to every level of the building.
- Make sure no two surfaces overlap (to avoid flickering).
- Model both sides of every surface and make sure faces are modeled correctly.
- Avoid using oversized terrains.

If your model appears black, flickers, or has missing parts after import, it’s usually because of how it was built in SketchUp — not the export itself.

   Choose glTF Binary File Format (\*.GLB) as the export format.  
   Save the file to your computer.

   Log in at app.visiofy.com and select "New Project".
