These switches change only your own view. The viewer doesn't save them with the project. The background and grid switches are in the Environment popup next to Settings. See Environment and background.

View settings popup above the Settings button, with the Play animation, Show dimensions and Selection outline switches

Show dimensions

Turn on Show dimensions to see how big each model is. The viewer labels the width, height and depth of each model in meters.

In a project with several models, each model gets its own labels. Gaussian splats get labels too.

The labels measure the box that contains the model, not a distance you pick. The web viewer has no tool for measuring between two points.

Play animation

Turn on Play animation to play the animations stored in your models. Every animation in every model plays at once. They loop until you turn the switch off. You can't pick a single animation to play.

The switch is grayed out when no model in the project has an animation. Gaussian splats have no animations.

Selection outline

When you are signed in and select an object, the viewer draws an outline around it. Turn off Selection outline to hide the outline. The object stays selected.

Visitors who are not signed in don't get this switch, and they never see the outline.

Exact sizes in the Model tab

Signed-in users can read a model's size as numbers. Select a model, then open the Model tab in the right panel. The Dimensions section lists the size along X, Y and Z.

Use the unit menu next to the title to switch between millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m) and kilometers (km). The default is meters.

You can't type a new size here. To resize the model, use the Scale fields. See Select, hide and move models.
