Sharing an xGen Model with Someone Outside of Your Tenant

When you need to share an xGenerative Design model with someone outside of your tenant there's a simple process using xDesign and 3DDrive. You can export the file as a 3DXML from xDesign, and then share it with anyone through 3DDrive. If the recipient isn't on the 3DEXPERIENCE yet they can setup a free account and view the model in their web browser of choice. The unique URL generated through "Share by Link" will take the recipient directly to a 3D view using the 3DPlay service within 3DDrive.


  1. In the xGenerative Design Graph Editor create a Publish node with all geometry needed for viewing connected to the node input.
  2. Open the model in CATIA xDesign and export a 3DXML file directly to 3DDrive.
  3. Locate the 3DXML file in 3DDrive and select "Share" and then "Share by Link" to generate a unique URL that can be sent to anyone.
  4. Once the recipient opens the unique URL in their web browser they can create a free 3DEXPERIENCE account (if they don't already have one). Then they will be taken directly to a 3D view of the xGenerative Design model.
