A product can have a 3D model. On your online store, shoppers can turn it with a finger or the mouse, zoom in, and on most phones see it in their own room at its real size with View in your space. It suits anything you design or print in 3D.
Owners and Managers add models. Staff can see them.
Add a model
- Open the product and go to its Photos tab.
- Add a photo first, if it has none. The first photo stands for the model in lists and on your store, until a shopper opens it.
- Under 3D model, choose the model file: an
.stl(from your slicer or design program) or a.glb, up to 50 MB. - For an
.stl, choose its colour. An.stlhas no colour of its own, so pick the filament colour, or Other for any colour. A.glbkeeps its own colours. - Choose Upload model.
An .stl is turned into a .glb, which is smaller and loads faster, and only the .glb is kept. The model is stood upright on the floor and centred. Sizes in an .stl are taken as millimetres, as slicers use them.
A very detailed model, with over 2 million triangles, is refused, since it wouldn't turn smoothly on a phone. Export it with fewer details.
Change it
- Change colour: for a model made from an
.stl, choose another colour, then Change colour. - Replace: choose another file under Replace it with another file, then Upload model.
- Remove model takes it off.
Each has Undo for 20 seconds.
If you remove all of a product's photos, its model is kept but isn't shown until it has a photo again.
Products with options
Each variant can have its own model, such as each size of a plate, on the variant's own Photos tab. A variant without photos of its own can use its product's photo. See Products with options.
On your store
On the product's page, the model is a small picture marked 3D, straight after the main photo. Clicking it opens the model full screen. The model only loads when it's opened, so your pages stay quick. For a product with options, the model of the variant chosen is shown.
