What is model sharing in Speckle?

Model sharing in Speckle means sharing model access with links or embeds so others can view and interact in a browser. With Speckle, sharing your 3D models is as easy as copying a link or embedding an interactive viewer—no huge file transfers required. Because Speckle is a web app, you can access and interact with your models from any device—desktop, tablet, or phone—from anywhere with an internet connection. No special software or licenses are required to view and interact with models; everything runs right in your browser.
Looking to create advanced analytics and dashboards from your model data? Check out Speckle Intelligence Dashboards for interactive dashboards and insights.
You have two simple ways to share your Speckle model:
  1. Copy and paste the URL
    Just grab the link from your browser’s address bar and send it to anyone who needs access.
  2. Use the Share button
    Click Share in the top-right corner, then select Copy link. Paste that link wherever you like.
If someone can’t open your link, check your project’s permissions. You may need to give them access to your workspace or project first. For details, see Managing Access and Permissions guide.

Embed the 3D viewer

Options and settings

  • Embed code (iframe): Use when adding the viewer to another website.
  • Embed URL: Use when you need a direct link without iframe code.
  • Viewer options: Choose transparent background, hide controls, hide selection panel, prevent scroll zoom, or enable manual load.
The Share dialog can create a share token instead of relying only on workspace or project membership.
  • Set an expiry date: Make links stop working automatically after a specific date.
  • Add password protection: Require recipients to enter a password before they can open the shared model.
  • Add a label: Add an internal label (for example Client review) so you can identify the token later.
If a link is password protected, recipients are redirected to an unlock page before the model loads. You can review and revoke issued share tokens in Project settings > Tokens.

If sharing does not work

Check these first:
  • User cannot open link -> confirm project visibility and role permissions.
  • Embed does not load -> confirm URL is full and iframe is not blocked by host.
  • User can open but not interact -> check viewer options used in embed settings.
  • Private view still hidden -> shared link does not override private visibility.

FAQ

Yes. Recipients can open shared model links in a browser without connector installation.
Use embed URL for direct navigation links. Use iframe code when placing the viewer inside another product or page.
Yes. Create a share link from the Share dialog. You can optionally add an expiry date and password. Anyone with the link can view the shared model without signing in.
Viewer behavior may be constrained by embed options, such as hidden controls or manual load mode.
