Add the plugin shortcode
Create a post or page and add the STL shortcode:
[stl file="blue_rabbit.stl" /]
Replace the filename with your .stl filename. If you're not sure what the filename, go to your media library and look under the Attachment Details for your uploaded file.
For more control of how the model is dispalyed
- add more parameters to the shortcode
[stl file="blue_rabbit.stl" color="#2b56b8" background="#f8f8f8" width="100%" height="640px" /]
- alternatively you can change the default settings (see below)
Change the default settings for SLT Viewer (optional)
- From your Dashboard go to Settings > STL Viewer
