Add the 3D block yourself

Place the 3D viewer anywhere on your product page with the theme editor.

← All articles

If you'd rather choose exactly where the viewer sits, or the automatic gallery placement doesn't suit your theme, add the The RenderX 3D viewer block to your product template.

Add the block

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
  2. At the top, switch to your Product template (Default product, or the template your rings use).
  3. In the product information section, click Add block and choose The RenderX 3D viewer.
  4. Drag it where you want it, for example just above or below the gallery.
  5. Click Save.

The block shows the 3D viewer only on products that have 3D, and stays empty elsewhere.

Tell the app

In the app, go to Settings → Product page and choose I'll place the block myself. The app then won't also insert a slide into the gallery, so shoppers never see two viewers.

Good to know

  • The block uses the same viewer as the gallery: three metals, auto-rotate, full screen, reset, the views of your position bar, drag and zoom.
  • It loads the same way: only the picture on page load, the 3D after the shopper's first interaction.
  • Removing the block, or uninstalling the app, leaves your theme exactly as it was. No theme files are edited.
