About publishing 3D models

When you "publish" a 3D model from the BioDigital Human web app, you are essentially packaging it in what we call the "Human Viewer," or simply the "Viewer," and exporting it for use outside the app.

Models can be published as either an embed code or a link.

  • An embed code—another term for iframe, or inline frame—is used to display external content within a webpage. This is the same format used to embed YouTube videos into a webpage.

  • A link can be pasted into any document or webpage and then opened in any web browser.

Regardless of the format you choose, end users can view and interact with your published model wherever you have made it available—no login required!

    1. Open My Library and find the saved model you want to publish.
    2. Hover over the model's tile and click the    three dots.
