3D Assets for Shopify's '3D Bits' App

Learn about the 3D asset formats supported by the "3D Bits" app and how to prepare your models for interactive configurators and static displays on Shopify.

3D Bits Shopify App - FAQ

Common questions about 3D Bits: building configurators without code, pricing what shoppers configure, the app embed, and working with your existing theme and apps.

App Embed Settings

Reference for the 3D Bits app embed, the two settings that still live in the theme editor, and the ones a published project overrides.

Asset Security and Public Access

Critical information about how 3D assets are hosted and accessed in 3D Bits, including public accessibility, intellectual property considerations, and best practices for protecting sensitive information.

Assets

Your library of 3D models, images and textures, how files get in, and where they actually live.

Canvas Size and Layout

How tall the 3D view is, how wide it goes and where the options panel sits, set per project from Storefront settings.

Composer

Composer is the visual editor where you build a 3D Bits configurator. No code, and everything about a configurator lives in one place.

Configurators Are Games

Learn how to think like a game designer when creating 3D product configurators for Shopify using the "3D Bits" app.

Driving 3D Bits from Your Own Form

The contract between your own product form and 3D Bits - what each element reports, how a change is noticed, and how field names become keys.

Enable 3D on Your Store

Turn the 3D Bits app embed on once, and every product you publish shows its configurator automatically.

Getting Started Overview

Learn about the different ways to use our platform, including 3D Model Configurators, Rete, Blockly, and Monaco (TypeScript) editors, CAD Cloud API, and 3D Bits for Shopify.

Helpers

The CAD converter, the 3D inspector, and the metafields page you need once at the very end.

How 3D Bits Works

What happens on your product page, the two ways to drive a configurator, and how to keep it working when your theme or apps change.

Logic Without a Panel

What Composer's Logic rules still do when 3D Bits draws no option panel and every choice comes from your theme or another app.

Model Size and Performance Limits

The three file size limits in 3D Bits - Composer's warning bands, the iPhone Safari block on the storefront, and the upload cap - and exactly what each one does.

Order Review

See exactly what each shopper configured, and confirm the price on the order is right.

Preparing GLTF 3D Assets

Learn about the best practices and solutions when preparing 3D GLTF assets for your 3D configurators.

Projects

Creating configurators, linking them to products, publishing, and reading the warnings the project page raises.

Scripts

Parametric programs that calculate geometry, how they connect to your configurators, and why one cannot be deleted while a project uses it.

Shopify Merchants

Add interactive 3D product viewers and configurators to your Shopify store with the 3D Bits app.

Storefront Display

Switching 3D on for your store, checking whether it is actually on, and what to clear up before uninstalling.

Subscription

Your current plan, what your storefront has been told about it, and what to do when the two disagree.

Subscription Plans

The three 3D Bits plans, what each one includes, and how to work out which one your products need.

Theme Blocks Overview

When to use the app embed, when to place theme blocks yourself, and what each 3D Bits block does.

What to Expect

How long a first configurator takes, what the 3D model needs to be like, and where the real effort goes.

When You Need Another Options App

3D Bits builds your option panel and prices it. Here is when a separate product options app still makes sense, and how to run one alongside.
