Amazing! Thank -you @DaveG

So glad to see vtk in association with dash. I’ve come to appreciate vtk from my work writing 3d slicer extensions. I’ll try it out!

I built this 3d model component that might be worth also looking into, works well with vr or ar systems:

Hi @Amy_Morton 3D representation in dash is nice but not always trivial, specially for larger datasets. I struggled in the beginning with adjusting the view parameters sometimes. I created a demo to play around with a while ago:

At some point I had to add coordinate systems to add some guidance/clarity to the 3D plots I created, maybe helpful for somebody.

Just wondering about these complex models, don’t they take a long time to load? My own experience is found here: A 3D sketch in DASH - Dash Python - Plotly Community Forum and Axes ratio in 3D plot - Dash Python - Plotly Community Forum and when loading this from the web application (over the internet), it takes a couple of seconds to render (even if it’s just a simple box with 6 sides + a couple of discs and a tube).
