- Click Create links.

Now you have your public share link. You can give this link to others, and they can see your model via a web browser without signing in or installing anything. The link will look something like this: https://app21.connect.trimble.com/tc/api/2.0/s/GxCwWq4pH1Ibxtz51rd2L3LI2HPZpYWYXxp-9nkecX09-Wk9HhIMqjuqIuYQtizS
Note: A model made publicly available cannot be modified by others. Allow access to View Only to prevent others from downloading it.
