Add a 3D object to a SharePoint space

Note

The SharePoint spaces feature is planned for deprecation starting March 2025. We recommend exploring Microsoft Mesh for new Immersive 3D content in M365.

Add actions to a 3D object

Actions make web parts interactive. You can select actions while editing your web part. After you save your space as a draft or publish it, they become interactive. Adding actions is optional.

1⁠.  While editing, select the object web part, and then select the pencil icon. This opens the property panel. Scroll down to Actions.

2⁠.  Select Add action.

  • When you select the web part, the On trigger action occurs.
  • When you right-click (mouse) or long-press (controller), More actions appears.

Object options

Note

For this web part, Inspect (brings the web part closer) is the default On trigger action. To change this, select ... > Delete. To configure More actions, select Add action, and then select ... (ellipsis). To re-order the actions, drag them into the order you want.

3⁠.  For the On trigger action or More actions, select from the following:

  • Inspect: Brings the web part closer. Options for inspect mode are:

    • Use scene orientation: This option brings an object forward using its orientation within the scene instead of the orientation defined in its 3D model file. 
    • Constrain object rotation: This option allows rotation only around the object's vertical axis. This can be simpler for users and may be used to ensure visually appealing angles.
  • Link to another space: Opens a linked SharePoint space.

  • Play audio: Plays an attached audio file.

  • Link to a page or item: Opens a linked URL (for example, a SharePoint page, a public website).

4⁠.  (Optional) Enter a Description.

5⁠.  To try out your actions, select Save as draft or Publish.
