Hi @Jaisantosh, I'm not sure whether anything is available out-of-the box already. I only found this: - [node-red-contrib-web-babylonjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-web-babylonjs). But like you already mentioned, I'm also not sure whether it allows currently to load a 3d model and show it in the dashboard. - [node-red-arjs](https://github.com/dceejay/node-red-arjs). I see in this [link](https://medium.com/@akashkuttappa/using-3d-models-with-ar-js-and-a-frame-84d462efe498) that this augmented reality library (ar.js) can load following 3d models: \* glTF 2.0, glTF, OBJ, COLLADA, PLY, JSON, FBX - [p5.js](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/demo-on-how-to-display-graphics-p5-js-in-dashboard-widget/24437). I see here that p5.js supports 3d models via OBJ and STL. - [three.js](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/node-red/dTutUVqXa8k). I wrote that example for somebody, to show 3D in the flow editor. But I assume you can use similar code in a template node for the dashboard ... After this quick look, I assume the p5.js example flow is closest to the dashboard solution you are trying to achieve ...
