Dragging models out of Meshory

Updated Sep 13, 2026 · 1 min read

Drag models from the library straight into a slicer, a folder, or any app that accepts files.

Grab a model in the library and drag it out of the window. Meshory hands your system the real file, so the drop behaves like any other file drag: into Finder or Explorer it lands as a copy, onto a slicer it opens, into a mail or chat window it attaches.

Dragging a model that belongs to your current selection takes the whole selection with it; dragging one outside the selection takes just that model. The thumbnail rides under your cursor while you drag, so you can see what you picked up.

Models inside ZIP, RAR, 7Z and TAR/TGZ archives can be dragged too. Meshory extracts the entry to its own cache first and hands over that copy, so the archive itself is never modified. If something can't be prepared, it's left out and reported rather than silently dropped from the drag.

Dragging the archive card itself carries the sliceable models inside it, in the order the archive browser lists them. Rest the pointer on the card for a moment first so Meshory can unpack them; a quick grab still works and waits for the unpacking. One drag carries at most 50 models out of archives and a byte allowance of a fifth of the extracted-archive limit in Settings → Storage, held between 256 MB and 2 GB, and the notice says how many models went and how many stayed inside. Models you picked yourself never count against either limit.
