Right-Click Context Menu
Right-click any file in the gallery or list view to see the full context menu:
Inspect 3D
Opens an interactive 3D viewer for supported formats (OBJ, STL, PLY, FBX, glTF, USD). The viewer uses PyVista with 3-point lighting, shows mesh info, normals, vertex colors, and embedded textures from FBX files.

Open File
Opens the file with the default Windows application. An EXR opens in your image viewer, an FBX opens in your 3D app, etc.
Reveal in Explorer
Opens Windows Explorer with the file’s parent directory, with the file selected and highlighted.
