Hi,
I have some 3D models loaded in my shop. They work fantastic but I don't understand how or where I can enable the ---> Enable-pan and auto-rotate <----. The used <model-viewer> only needs some extra parameters: https://modelviewer.dev/examples/stagingandcameras/index.html#panning
Do I need to put them in the custom css of my dawn theme? Or should I put a metafield in the liquid code for the product? Any help would be great
Hi @Jordi3man,
For the Dawn theme, you only need 3D models in the product image, it will display well.
Hope it helps!
hi @LitExtension,
Thank you for you reply. The models are displayed will that's for sure. But I'm missing the panning feature. This can be simpled enabled with some code/words between the <model-viewer> tags. The only thing is that I don't know where to put it in the theme liquid code. To me it looks like the <model-viewer> is loaded as one module.
I hope somebody can point me in the directs where I can modify /add the <model-viewer> code.
Thanks!
Hi @Jordi3man,
Do you want it to show in product images? Or will it be a separate section?
Hi @LitExtension,
I pref to have it as product image. The 3D viewer is working perfect. But I like to activate some options that are quite common.

Hi @Jordi3man,
Please send me the product link, I will check it for you
Hi @Jordi3man,
Please go to product-model.js file and add code here:
Code: this.loadContent();
Hope it helps!
Hi Lit Extension & Jordi3Man,
Thanks for this great thread! I'm trying to add panning to my 3D products too. Can you please advise on if this solution worked for you? Specifically:
1) What text needs to be added to the js file and (2) where.
Here is the GLB file we are trying to add panning to: https://codepen.io/jorge-fco/full/vYRqYev
Here is the code we were trying to do so with: https://modelviewer.dev/examples/stagingandcameras/index.html#enableInteraction
Can you lend a hand? Would be greatly appreciative!!!
