Auto-Rotate/Orbit in Instant Apps 3D Scene Viewer

[hkomm]

Hello,

I've hosted a photogrammetry model of a local island in .SPLK format and built a 3D scene viewer using Instant Apps. It’s packed with features like sun animation and weather effects, but I’d like to add an auto-rotate/orbit function around the scene’s center with a play/pause button. The "rotate globe" option works for global scenes but not for local scenes.

Has anyone managed to implement auto-rotation for a 3D model in Instant Apps? If you have, could you please share the process you followed? Thanks!

We can look into this and see if its possible to support this in a future release of the 3D Viewer app.

Thanks Kelly.

After a bit of exploring and experimenting different options, I finally got the auto-orbit around a point feature working using Experience Builder widget - "flight controller"

Glad you got it working in Experience Builder. Next week it should also be supported in the 3DViewer instant app if you have a local scene or are zoomed in.

Thanks @KellyHutchins. Glad to hear it. It would be super beneficial to have this readily accessible within instant apps, eliminating the need to go through the experience builder process.
