Have you ever wanted to post your 3D models on a website for your customers to view? Or better yet ā have an interactive 3D model where your customers can fully grasp your design? SOLIDWORKS allows this capability through 3DContentCentral via eDrawings. Below is an example of a 3D model.
- First thing needed is to create an account on 3DContentCentral or log in to an existing account (3D ContentCentral)
The conveyor assembly to be published as an embedded web model.- Within the 3DContentCentral website, click on the Upload tab and accept the EULA to being the upload process
Publish to eDrawings Web HTML from the File menu in SOLIDWORKS 2018.- Once your model is uploaded, you will be able to see it on your profile by clicking on the MY 3DCC tab and scrolling down to the Portfolio section
Solid and surface features that work on mesh bodies in SOLIDWORKS.- If you click on your model, there will be a section labeled āEmbed this 3D model in your Blogā
- Select and copy the iframe code from the box below the eDrawings viewer to embed the model on your website
From scan mesh to CAD model to printed part.- Paste this code onto your website and youāre all set!
The size of the viewer can be controlled using the width and height values within the code. Your model can now be viewed through the interactive eDrawings viewer, which also allows features like exploded and section views.
