Is the R&D team at Canvas considering the support of 3D model file types? If so, which ones, if not, what might be the reason(s).
Hi there, @JerryLAERE ...
I am not sure if they are working on this or not, but I did search the existing Feature Ideas here in the Community, and I came across this one:
Lets get built in 3D Model viewing
I am not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but you might want to add your comments to it and give it a star rating if it meets your needs.
Also, I'm not sure if you follow the Instructure Roadmap, but you might want to check out this page so you can see what is coming soon and in the distant future:
Canvas Product Roadmap - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
Finally, I see that you are a New Member here in the Community. You won't be able to yet submit Feature Ideas yourself until you "rank up" more (similar to "leveling up" in a video game)...but it's quite easy to "rank up". Here are some Guides I usually give to folks who are new the Community:
Hopefully these links will be of some help to you. Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!!!

Another way to allow 3D files to be submitted as assignments is to use the 'Text Entry' Submission type. This gives the students a blank canvas page to work on. Then you can show them how to get the embed for a 3D model from Tinkercad, Sketchfab, etc. and insert it into their assignment page.
This method doesn't allow the grader to add annotations like a pdf or word doc,,, but even if Canvas does begin supporting 3D file types, I doubt they will find a way to allow annotations.
Below is a screenshot of a tinkercad model that can be navigated in speedgrader.
The Non Credit side of our institution has users self enroll in their course, they want us to run a script daily that ends any new enrollments access after 30 days. I found this end point for user enrollment end time, but in my testing, the user still had access despite their enrollment being past the end date. Do the…
My team is currently going through the different LTIs/APIs we have installed in our Canvas instance and making sure we have a full list of what permissions each one has, what information it gives/receives, etc. However, the list of LTIs/APIs is contradictory - the new Apps page has a Monitor tab which lists launches of…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Does anyone know why when I log into canvas I can see my profile but no links to courses or activities or anything at all except this global canvas stuff and my own profile? Help!
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
