Web Interface

3DtoMe has two viewers that run in a browser:

• The web viewer at viewer.3dto.me. Sign in to create projects, upload models, edit them and share them. Visitors with a share link can open a project without an account.
• The embed viewer at embed.3dto.me. It shows one project inside your own website, with no panels and no editing.

Most of this page is about the web viewer. The last section covers the embed viewer.

When you open one of your projects, the 3D view fills the screen and the controls sit around it:

With no project open, the left panel switches between the three sections of the projects home: Explore, My Projects and Favorites.

With a project open, it has two tabs:

• Scene lists the models in the project and the parts inside each model. Use it to select, hide, lock or focus on a model. See Select, hide and move models.
• Project Info shows the project's name, number of models, size, author and dates. It also counts the vertices and triangles, or the splats in a Gaussian splat. On a project you own, it also has the thumbnail and the camera controls.

Back to Projects at the top of the panel closes the project. FAQs & Support and your profile sit at the bottom.

The right panel shows details of the model you select, in the 3D view or in the Scene tab. Its tabs are icons:

When you are signed in and open a project that is not public, the Assets panel runs along the bottom of the viewer. It has two tabs:

• Project folder lists every file in the project. That includes your 3D files, the copies the viewer made from them, and any images, videos, audio and documents. The newest files come first.
• Variants holds material variants. See Variants.

To add files, drop them on the panel. To turn a 3D file into a model, drag it from the Project folder tab onto the Scene tab in the left panel. See Create a project and upload models.

To work with the files:

• Type in the Filter box to show only files whose name contains that text.
• Right-click a file and choose Rename, Download or Delete. If a material variant uses the file as a texture, the delete dialog names those variants first.
• Select an image, video, audio file or PDF and press Space to preview it.
• Hover the yellow badge on a file to read its conversion warnings.
• Drag the top edge of the panel to make it taller, or click the button on its left to collapse and expand it.

Besides 3D models and Gaussian splats, the Assets panel takes the files below. You use them in the model gallery, as backgrounds, or as textures for material variants.

The viewer refuses files in any other format.

Some controls depend on whether you are signed in and whether the project is yours:

The viewer saves changes only for the owner of a project that is not public. Annotations or comments that anyone else adds disappear when they leave.

A button for a feature your plan doesn't include shows a padlock. Click it to see which plan you need, or check Features by plan.

On a phone held upright, the left and right panels open over the whole screen. While a panel is open, the buttons at the bottom, the Assets panel and the Transform toolbar hide. Close the panel to get back to the model.

The embed viewer is what visitors see when you put a 3DtoMe project on your website or online store with the embed code. It shows only the 3D model, with three controls:

• Orbit and zoom with the mouse or with touch gestures
• A fullscreen button
• A View in AR button. On a computer it shows a QR code to scan with a phone.

The options you pick in the Share window, such as showing annotations or dimensions, apply to the embed too.
