Add 2D Objects to a 3D Slide [Beta]

Learn how to add 2D images, PDFs, and cross-sections to a 3D Slide and customize their position, scale, and appearance.

Overview

3D Slides support 2D Objects, including images, PDFs, and cross-sections. You can add a 2D Object to any 3D Slide and position it within the 3D scene.

This is useful for displaying cross-sections alongside 3D model data, or for incorporating corporate content onto a 3D Slide.
