Remove header in CE viewer?

Question

Is there a way to remove the top header (the blue area ...title, layer&settings options, name, etc) from the CityEngine Viwer?

I know with a Web Scene, you can simply add the HTML code "&ui=min" to the end of the URL.....but this does not work in City Engine Viewer.

Ultimately, I want to include this scene in a Story Journal, but without the header.

Hi, Please have a look how Harvard is using their 3D web scenes on their campus side: 3D Campus Map | Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching  Maybe this goes in the direction what you are looking for? They using CloudCities, which built up on Esri's 3D technology CloudCities. We are currently in Beta phase and looking for feedback.

That will be cool. I think the ability to put 3D and 2D objects into ArcGIS web applications is coming soon.

I really like the story maps as well. I want to be able to use my GIS data and 3D objects in those.

We can't remove the header, but the sidebar can be minimized. We cannot code the sidebar to not appear for users that view the scene within the story map journal. However, if you are using this story map to show people, then I would just click the the layer tab to remove the sidebar. That way the web viewer becomes wider for more optimized navigation.

I think a Story Map Journal is the best app to facilitate the understanding of a story to a user. I've also been searching for the best application/software platform that can display my organized GIS layers along with 3D CityEngine layers. It needs to be easy for the user to understand the story and also needs to be capable of hosting 3D content.
