# Models
To open the model overview of a project, select a project in the [project overview](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/projects.md) on the top of the dashboard (1) and click the Models tab on the left-hand side of the screen (2). All models you have access to will be shown here, divided into two groups: models where you have pending changes (3) and models where you **don't** have pending changes (4).
Click a model card to select it. Depending on your model access rights, you will be able to do any of the following actions on this model:
* Open the model (5)
* Discard any pending changes (6)
* Delete the model (7)
* Access the [model version history](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-version-management.md) (8)
* Manage the [model access rights](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-access-rights.md) (9)
* Export the model to IFC (10)
* Create a [public sharing](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/public-sharing.md) link (11)
If any of these actions are not available, this means you don't have the required [access rights](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-access-rights.md) to this specific model. Contact the model owner, or alternatively if you are the project owner, you can make yourself model owner in the Model Status page in the [project settings](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/projects.md).
To open a model you can also simply double-click the model card. When opening a model you can choose between continuing in the web browser or opening the model in the desktop app. Functionality-wise both environments work exactly the same, but for modeling operations in large models we do recommend using the desktop application as you will have more computing power available.
{% hint style="info" %}
**You don't see this message, or you have trouble getting the desktop application to work? Check out the** [**this help article**](/other/faq.md#why-does-the-desktop-application-not-work)**.**
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Opening a model in the web browser on mobile devices is not supported. Please download the mobile app using the App Store or Google Play Store.**
{% endhint %}
Select multiple models at once by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking the models, or hold the Shift key to select a range of models. Accessing the model version history and managing access rights for multiple models at once is currently not supported.
You can switch between card view and list view of the model in the top-right corner (12).
Use the sorting functionality to sort by model name, creation date and last updated (13).
Use the grouping functionality to group your models by creator or discipline (14). Grouping is only supported in the list view.
Use the search field to filter on model name (15).
The list view also allows you to rename models by clicking the pencil icon appearing next to a model name.
To add a model to the project, click the green plus button at the top left of the screen, or simply drag and drop a file into the dashboard. Currently supported file types are .ifc, .3dm (Rhino3D), .skp (SketchUp) and .rvt (Autodesk Revit versions 23 - 26). Revit models can also be imported through the [Qonic plugin for Revit](https://www.qonic.com/downloads). Note that if a Revit upload through the dashboard fails, it is recommended to try again using the plugin. The file size limitations are as follows:
* .ifc import: 5GB file size limit, process timeout of 1 hour.
* .3dm import: 5GB file size limit, process timeout of 1 hour.
* .skp import: 5GB file size limit, process timeout of 1 hour.
* .rvt import through the **dashboard**: 256MB file size limit, process timeout of 30 mins.
* .rvt import through the [Qonic plugin for Revit](https://www.qonic.com/downloads/): no file size limit, although once converted to Qonic the resulting data of the model cannot exceed 4GB.\
A Revit model imported through the Qonic plugin for Revit can be edited, and the changes can be pushed back to the original Revit model through the same plugin.
To create new models, you need at least the status of **Editor** in this project. For more information on project roles, visit [this help article](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/projects.md).
Valid models will be displayed with a 3D snapshot of the model as their thumbnail (18). If a [red triangle](https://help.qonic.com/documentation/qonic-dashboard/pages/9k6ZT9KI2mgQ7El5jk3D#my-model-shows-a-red-warning-triangle-and-i-cannot-open-it.-what-do-i-do) appears over the thumbnail (17), that means something went wrong with the upload. A loading icon (19) means that the model is still processing. Newly uploaded models (20) will also be displayed with a 3D snapshot, and will not be visible to other project members until you publish your changes. For more information on this, read the article about [Version Management](/documentation/qonic-dashboard/models/model-version-management.md).
