Two players in the world of architectural software, Morpholio <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/184011/trace" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Trace</a> and Shapr3D, today announced a joint effort that promises to further bridge the divide between 3D modeling and sketching on the iPad Pro thanks to Apple&rsquo;s Drag and Drop and the new universal 3D file type USDZ.<br></p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/43/432393e0d6dfca07710597f5b8b9bfb9.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/43/432393e0d6dfca07710597f5b8b9bfb9.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Credit: Jim Keen.

Shapr3D models can now be exported directly to Trace via the new OBJ export, simplifying the switch between drawing and modeling. <br></p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ec/ec2542334da8bc7a585cfa295dab5031.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=1028" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ec/ec2542334da8bc7a585cfa295dab5031.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>Credit: Jim Keen.
