Share and embed the 3D / AR Viewer
The integration can be carried out via:
Link
Simply copy and paste the link wherever you want. From that link, your customers will be able to open the 3D / AR Viewer.
You will also find a QR Code which works in the same way as the link.
Iframe
You can generate an iframe for your 3D / AR Viewer by setting your custom size for it. Simply copy the HTML code and paste it on your own assets to directly show the 3D / AR Viewer with no need for any button or link to open it.
Learn more here on "How to Embed the Zakeke 3D Viewer in Any Website or CMS".
Share Button
In this section, you can generate a button that can be placed on your pages or other assets to let your customers launch the 3D / AR Viewer.
Zakeke gives you all the tools to create the button as you prefer with your custom texts, colors, and borders.
Below the button preview, there is the HTML Selector.
If you need to place the button in a specific position in your HTML page, you can simply write the future container of your button's ID or Class name in the HTML selector text area.
In this way, when you copy and paste the button link, it will place itself exactly in the container you need it into.
Otherwise, if you don't have a specific container for your button, you can leave the HTML selector empty.
These three checkboxes let you decide which icons will be shown in the 3D asset view.
Asset Information
