About Steil 3D Configurator

From the official readme · v1.1.0

Description

Steil 3D Configurator adds a Gutenberg block that shows an interactive 3D product. Visitors can rotate the model, pick a colour per part and a finish, and send a quote request with their configuration (including a screenshot of what they built).

Everything is editable from the WordPress admin:

  • Configurator products — a Custom Post Type. Upload a glTF/GLB or FBX model, let the editor detect its parts, and assign a colour palette, finishes and defaults to each. Reuse the same product across many pages.
  • The block — pick a product, set the height, choose where the controls sit, and toggle the finish selector, reset button and quote form.

Built on Three.js. Works with classic and block (FSE) themes; styles are scoped so they don’t clash with your theme. No external services or CDNs — everything is bundled locally.

A sample “Lounge chair” product is created on activation so you can try the block immediately.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin zip via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, or copy the folder to wp-content/plugins/.
  2. Activate it. A sample configurator product is created automatically.
  3. Go to 3D Configurator to create your own product: upload a model (GLB or FBX), click “Detect parts from model”, and assign palettes.
  4. Add the Steil 3D Configurator block to any page and pick your product.

Frequently asked questions

What model formats are supported?

glTF/GLB 2.0 and FBX. GLB (a single binary file) is recommended for the smallest, most portable models.

How does part recolouring work?

Each “part” has one or more match terms. Any mesh or material whose name contains a match term is recoloured with that part’s palette. Use “Detect parts from model” to see the available names.

Where do quote requests go?

To the site admin email by default. Use the steil_cfg_quote_recipient filter to change it.

Changelog

Adds textures, optional parts and per-block styling controls. Existing products keep working unchanged.

1.1.0

  • Textures: upload textures and assign them per part, with three bundled demo textures on the sample product. Visitors pick a colour or a texture.
  • Optional parts: mark a part optional so visitors can toggle it on/off; hidden parts are left out of the quote.
  • Adjustable styling per block: colours, corner radius, shadow, spacing, panel width, button shape and stage background in the block sidebar.
  • Refreshed default look and a custom block icon.
  • Wider default layout and improved camera framing so the model always sits nicely in view.

1.0.1

  • New custom 3D-cube block icon in the editor, replacing the generic art icon.

1.0.0

  • Initial release: configurator block, glTF/GLB + FBX upload, part mapping, palettes, finishes, quote request with screenshot, bundled sample product.
