How to display 3D models?

[Panometric]

Is there an easy way to display 3D models Confluence Cloud pages securely?

I just want to be able to take a STEP or STL and allow it to be rotated and zoomed rather than have to print a bunch of 2d views of it.

Hi Panometric,

You can embed a variety of 3D models or CAD files in Confluence that can be interacted with (zoom, rotate, pan, annotate, etc) using JigSpace, which has a very web friendly and oEmbed based viewer that works natively with Atlassian products. 

See this help article: Embed 3D content in Confluence

@sam_granleese is JigSpace free?

No, So expensive

Confluence isn't a 3D modelling program, it's a wiki.  But it is extensible, so it is possible to write something that could display your models (securely, whatever you mean by that).  Have you looked for an app that can do this anywhere?

Hi @Panometric ,

This is a great question - and one I hear a lot from engineering teams.

Confluence doesn't natively support interactive 3D viewing, but there are Marketplace apps that solve this well. We built CAD 2D and 3D Model Viewer for Confluence specifically for this use case.

It supports 70+ file formats including STEP, STL, SolidWorks, CATIA, Inventor, Revit, DWG, DXF, IGES, and more. You can embed models directly into Confluence pages where anyone on your team can rotate, zoom, pan, and cross-section — no CAD software needed on their end.

A few things that might be relevant to your workflow:

• Works with both 2D drawings and 3D models
• Includes a Model Catalogue for organizing and searching your CAD files
• Revision tracking built in, so you can manage versions
• SOC 2 Type II certified

Happy to answer any questions about setup or supported formats. Here's the documentation if you'd like to dig in.

Hi, I've built an app that will embed GLB and gtLF files via link or upload. Should be straightforward to convert an STL to one of those formats. Give it a go: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1226700/3d-viewer-for-confluence
