CAD files should be saved in a format that is commonly used and easy to open, but there is hardly any such format available for CAD drawings in 3D. 3D models should therefore be saved in their original format, but make sure you properly document the software and version used to create the file as well as its system requirements. There are cases when a 3D CAD file is displayed differently following a software version update. IFC is increasingly becoming the industry standard for exchanging and publishing technical 3D models. It is open, documented and durable, but take into account that the conversion from 3D model to IFC always incurs a certain amount of loss.
