Visitors of the model will see the widget containing all the parameters and get to change them and see the geometry updated in the viewer. This is the standard mode of the viewer.

However, when a ShapeDiver user uploads a new model or visits the "Edit" page of an already uploaded model, they access the edit mode of the viewer. The edit mode provides administrative rights to change several families of options and save them as default settings when users open the model.

Viewer settings

In the model Edit mode, an additional viewer settings widget is available on the left of the viewer window. This widget contains a set of settings controlling the appearance and interactivity of the 3d scene.

The settings are organized in four categories described below.

General settings

Define global properties of the scene, rendering options and specify the behaviour of the parameter widget. Read more.
