Share a model by link

CivilKit Studio can turn your whole model into a link. Send it to a colleague and they open the exact model in their browser - no account, no upload, no file to attach.

How

File → Copy share link. The link is copied to your clipboard. Paste it into a message, email or ticket. Anyone who opens it sees your model - nodes, members, supports, loads and the assigned catalogue sections - ready to solve.

How it works (and why it's private)

The entire model is compressed (gzip) and packed into the link itself, after the #:

https://…/studio/index.html#m=gH4sIAAAA…

Everything after # is a URL fragment - browsers never send it to a server. So the model travels only inside the link you share; nothing is uploaded to CivilKit or anyone else. The link works offline and on any static host.

Limits

  • Very large models make very long links. Above ~32,000 characters Studio tells you to use Export JSON instead and send the file.
  • A link captures the model, not the solved results - the recipient clicks Solve to reproduce them (identical inputs give identical results).
