Publish a 2D image of a model

The BioDigital Human is designed to be interactive, but if you need a 2D image for a presentation, or you are unable to embed a 3D model into your website, you can publish your model as an image. 

There are two places in the web app where you can publish a 2D image of your model:

1. My Library
2. Human Studio

Publish from My Library

1. Open My Library and find the saved model you want to publish. 
2. Hover over the model's tile and click the Publish button.
   
3. Select 2D Image in the upper-left portion of the Publish window.
4. (Optional) Customize your 2D image settings as desired:
   • Image Size 
     • Pixels (default): Best for most uses. Choose from one of our preset sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Maximum), or select Custom and enter a custom width and height.
     • Inches: Best for print use. Enter a specific width and height.
   • File Type
     • PNG (default): Highest quality, best for print and offline use. Note: Select this option if you plan to publish your image with a transparent background.
     • JPEG: Smallest file size, best for most uses.
   • Background Color 
     • Chapter's background color (default): Uses the current chapter's default background color or the custom color that was set in Human Studio.
     • White: Changes the current chapter's background color to white.
     • Black: Changes the current chapter's background color to black.
     • Custom^*: To select a custom color, click anywhere on the color picker, or enter a hex code.
   • Labels
     • Hide all labels: Hides all labels from the current chapter.
     • Label size: Changes the size of the current chapter's labels. Drag the slider to the right to make the labels bigger, or enter a number in the box to the right.
5. Choose your publishing format:
   • Download Image: Downloads the 2D image to your computer's Downloads folder.
   • Copy Link: Copies a link to the hosted image to your computer's clipboard. This will enable you to hyperlink to this image in a presentation, document, or website.
   • Copy Embed: Copies an iframe of the image and its source 3D model to your browser's clipboard. When embedded, the iframe will display the 2D image, and when clicked, the fully interactive 3D model will load in a new browser tab.
