Click to open 3D

Opens 3D files in 3DView app from browser
Click to Open 3D is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline the process of viewing 3D files. The extension allows users to instantly download and open 3D files from any website directly into the 3DView application, thereby eliminating the need for manual downloading and uploading. This makes it particularly useful for quickly previewing 3D files on websites like www.thingiverse.com. Please note that the 3DView app, an easy-to-use lightweight application for 3D modeling and printing, is required for the extension to function. Supported file formats include STL, OBJ, AMF, 3DS, PLY, Collada, CTM, VTK, BABYLON, THING, and ZIP.

WHY DO I GET THIS OBNOXIOUS POP-UP EVERY TIME I JUST WANT TO DL AN .STL FILE!!! I DON"T WANT YOUR FRIGGING POS PROGRAM, NEVER ASKED FOR IT, AND TOTALLY RESENT THAT YOU ARE FORCING ME TO DOWNLOAD SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO USE! REMOVE THIS REQUEST FOR ME TO DL, BBB REPORT, OR LAWSUIT FOR ATTEMPTED HIJACKING OF MY DOWNLOADS THROUGH YOUR APP... YOUR CHOICE!
