Mental model

A 3D Viewer is a model turntable. Load a 3D model and orbit/zoom it — a live, interactive product or part view. Drive its rotation from a device for a real-time digital representation.

​
When to use it

  • Show a product or part in 3D
  • Reflect a device’s orientation on a model

​
Settings

​
General / Style

  • Model URL · model color
  • Enable controls (rotate / zoom / pan) · auto rotate
  • Show grid · axes
  • Camera X / Y / Z
On first drop, the viewer shows a sample cube so it’s interactive immediately — replaced automatically once you set a model URL.

​
Example — set the model from firmware

device.update3DModel(targetId, "viewer", "https://.../part.glb");

​
Script API example

The same interactions from a dashboard script: 
// Orient the model live — value accepts roll / pitch / yaw / modelUrl / autoRotate
ws.onMessage((msg) => {
  if (msg.roll !== undefined) {
    widget.setValue('viewer', { roll: msg.roll, pitch: msg.pitch });
  }
});
