(If you want others to be able to collaborate on the file, you must save it in iCloud.)
Add a 3D object
3D objects are three-dimensional models that simulate natural lighting, shading, and texture effects. In a board, you can add 3D objects that were created with 3D software or 3D scanning and are in USDA, USDC, or USDZ file format, and view the object from all sides.
Go to the Freeform app
