Embed with iFrame
Using the embed functionality of the Vuframe® App for Web, you can easily integrate your SmartVu's® into your own websites or apps.
Shared SmartVu® Page
Embedded SmartVu® Page
The embed functionality of the Browser® App for Web allows you to seamlessly integrate your shared SmartVu's® into your own websites, webshops or applications. On compatible mobile devices, your users can even view your 3D content in Augmented Reality without having to install any apps. The following sections describe the necessary steps to do so.
In order to embed your SmartVu® into your own web page, please follow these steps to ensure everything is displayed correctly:
- 1.In order to view your SmartVu® using the VUFRAME® App for web, you will need to enable embedding first. The embed link should look something like https://embed.vuframe.com/c7bf08c8 with the last part being the SmartVu®'s embed code.
- 2.Open the embeddable web version of your SmartVu® by accessing the following URL: https://embed.vuframe.com/<embed_code>.
- 3.Optionally, you may configure the way the embeddable version of the SmartVu® is displayed by appending configuration parameters.
- 4.If your SmartVu® meets all requirements for web publishing and you have followed all instructions correctly, it will be displayed in an interactive 3D viewer. Otherwise, refer to the troubleshooting section of this article.
- 5.Create a new IFrame-HTML-Element with the following code snippet and insert it into your website. Make sure you replace the URL with the link to your embeddable SmartVu®. Additionally, you can control the display size the embedded SmartVu® by setting the width and height attributes of the element or using CSS.
<iframe frameborder=0 src="https://embed.vuframe.com/279ddcd8"/>
Using the embed URL API you can customize the behavior and the look and feel of the embed page.
Previously to version 4.0.20 of VUFRAME® Studio, the embeddable version for SmartVu's® was located under https://share.vuframe.com/<share_code>/embed**.** If you are still using such a link on one of your web pages, don't worry - it will still work the same way as before. However, you should consider updating your page with the new URL format as it supports additional configuration parameters.
All SmartVu's® that are supported by the VUFRAME® App for Web are available for embedding. For a list of requirements, please refer to the corresponding article.
The Embed API allows you to configure the Vuframe® Player via URL parameters.
The embed mode of the supports the following configuration parameters:

Default: 1024hide_bg: If set to 1 the player will use a solid color as a background instead of the default environment.bg_color: Sets the color of the 3D environment to the given hex color. Note that this parameter overrides the background color defined in the Background Color Extension of the SmartVu®. Allowed values: 6-digit HEX color without #-sign, e.g.FFFFFFfor white, ortransparentplane: Sets the color of the 3D floor to the given hex color. Allowed values: 6-digit HEX color without #-sign, e.g.FFFFFFfor white.autoplay: If set to 1, the 3D preview on the page will start immediately. The play button will not be displayed.autopause: If set to 1, the player pauses when idle to save CPU and battery.autorotate: If set to 1, the 3D model starts spinning when the user is idle for 5 seconds.hide_sidebar: If set to 1, the sidebar and its widgets of your SmartVu® will not be displayed. Note that this parameter overrides the sidebar behaviour defined in the SmartVu® Editor.hide_applink: If set to 1, the "Open in App"-button in the bottom left corner of the 3D view will not be displayed.openinapp(Deprecated): If set to 1, the "Open in App"-button in the bottom left corner of the 3D view will be displayed.hide_navigation: If set to 1, the default navigation UI elements are hidden, e.g. the "Back" button only works in Embed modeenable_shadows: If set to 1, shadows will be enabled on all devices. By default, shadows are disabled on all mobile devices. Note that this setting may cause a significant drop in performance for slower devices, so you should only set it for very simple models or if you plan to target desktop users exclusively.enable_xr: pass enable_xr=0 to disable the AR buttonenable_mirror: display a mirror surface below the modelenable_ao: enable ambient occlusion for the displayed modelformat: aura or glb, glb is default. Pass aura to use the new AuraWeb formatinitial_hotspot: pass the hotspot the SmartVu® starts with, e.g.&initial_hotspot=footsteps-00aa: number of post-processing samples, range between 0 and 8. pass 0 to disable post-processing; default=2exposure: global exposure of the scene – will not be applied if post-processing is disabled, default=1.0contrast: global contrast of the scene – will not be applied if post-processing is disabled, default=1.0
Web Viewer v1.8.6 and higher:
brand_color: Sets the text and button color of the UI elements, e.g. Popups. Allowed values: 6-digit HEX color without #-sign, e.g.FFFFFFfor white. Default:white.brand_bg: Sets the background color of the UI elements, e.g. Popups. Allowed values: 6-digit HEX color without #-sign, e.g.FFFFFFfor white. Default:#121A27

Copy these HTML tags and paste them on your website to embed your SmartVu®. Note that you will need to replace “<embed_code>” with the embed code of your SmartVu™ in order for these tags to work.
Example #1: Embed page with a solid pink background:
<iframe frameborder=0 src="https://embed.vuframe.com/<embed_code>/embed?hide_bg=1&bg_color=FF00FF" />
Example #2: Embed page that automatically loads 3D content. The "Open in App"-button and the sidebar will not be displayed:
<iframe frameborder=0 src="https://embed.vuframe.com/<embed_code>/embed?autoplay=1&hide_applink=1&hide_sidebar=1" />
If you run into any issues, please refer to the troubleshooting and FAQ for the VUFRAME® App for Web.
