When BuildMog has a 3D guide for the store page or PDF manual you are on, one click opens it. It reads nothing before you click. Building something? See its instructions in 3D before you open the box. BuildMog turns assembly manuals into interactive step-by-step guides you can scrub, rewind and see through. This free extension finds the one for the product or PDF on your screen, when the library has it, and opens it in one click. HOW IT WORKS • Look for the orange dot. On many store pages and PDF manuals the library has, the icon shows a dot. Your browser checks each page against a list by itself, so the extension learns nothing about the pages you visit. No dot? Click the icon anyway: it checks the tab you are on. • Click the icon, or "Scan this page" in the side panel. The panel opens beside the shop with the match, with a picture, the number of steps, the time it takes and how many people it needs. • Open it. The 3D version opens on buildmog.com: every part and screw, one step at a time, free and without an account. • Right-click a link to a PDF and choose "Open in BuildMog 3D". • Or search the whole collection, from anywhere. • Not in the collection? Press "Find its manual on BuildMog": the website names the product, looks for the maker's own instructions and can make its 3D version. If the shop links its own instructions or shows the assembly steps, the button builds from those. With a free account the first build each month costs nothing; after that, a build is paid. EXACT OR CLOSE Exact means the page is, or links, the very PDF the 3D version was made from. Close means the brand and the model agree, but the page does not link that PDF, which happens when a product is renewed or comes in several sizes: check your box before you build. For cribs, car seats, strollers and other children's products, only an exact match is offered. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • It reads only when you click its icon or the panel's scan button, and only that tab. If you let the side panel scan as you browse (Chrome asks first), it reads the tab you are looking at as it loads, while the panel is open. What it reads is compared with a list stored inside the extension and stays on your computer, unless you press "Find its manual", which sends the product's name and brand to the website, with, while the website builds manuals, the addresses of the instructions and pictures the shop shows. • No standing access to any site, nothing changed on any site, no sign-in, no payments. • Usage counts are content-free: never the pages you visit or what you search for, and a random number for this installation instead of a name. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland they stay off until you say yes, and anyone can switch them off. GOOD TO KNOW • What is in the collection opens free. The collection grows as new manuals are made. • This is a guide, not the manufacturer's instructions. Follow the safety warnings in the box. • Product and company names belong to their owners. Not affiliated with any manufacturer. Privacy policy: https://buildmog.com/privacy.html#extension Support: hello@buildmog.com
