Embed BIM Model on Website - Free Guide 2026

Want to display your BIM models directly on your website? With BimDropper, embedding a BIM model on a website is simple and free. No installation required, just an iframe code to copy-paste.

Why Embed a BIM Model on Your Website?

Displaying your BIM models directly on your website offers many advantages:

  • Interactive Portfolio: Show your BIM projects dynamically and professionally
  • Client Presentation: Allow your clients to explore models directly on your site
  • Differentiation: Stand out with interactive 3D visualization on your site
  • Accessibility: Your visitors can view models without installing software

How to Embed a BIM Model on a Website?

Step 1: Upload Your IFC File

  1. Go to BimDropper.com›
  2. Drag and drop your IFC file into the viewer
  3. Wait for the model to load

Step 2: Create an Embed Link

  1. Click the "Embed" button in the viewer toolbar
  2. BimDropper automatically generates an iframe code that you can copy. The code looks like this:
<iframe 
  src="https://bimdropper.io/viewer/embed/[token]" 
  width="100%" 
  height="600px" 
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen>
</iframe>

Step 3: Embed on Your Website

Paste the iframe code into your webpage's HTML code, where you want to display the BIM model.

Example with Simple HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My BIM Portfolio</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>My BIM Projects</h1>
  <iframe 
    src="https://bimdropper.io/viewer/embed/[token]" 
    width="100%" 
    height="600px" 
    frameborder="0"
    allowfullscreen>
  </iframe>
</body>
</html>

Example with WordPress

  1. Edit your page or post
  2. Switch to "Text" mode (instead of "Visual")
  3. Paste the iframe code
  4. Publish the page

Example with React / Next.js

export default function ProjectPage() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My BIM Project</h1>
      <iframe 
        src="https://bimdropper.io/viewer/embed/[token]" 
        width="100%" 
        height="600px" 
        frameBorder="0"
        allowFullScreen
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Customize Model Display

Adjust Size

Modify the `width` and `height` attributes to fit your layout:

<iframe 
  src="https://bimdropper.io/viewer/embed/[token]" 
  width="800px" 
  height="500px" 
  frameborder="0">
</iframe>

Responsive Mode

For responsive display that adapts to all screens:

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;">
  <iframe 
    src="https://bimdropper.io/viewer/embed/[token]" 
    style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;"
    frameborder="0"
    allowfullscreen>
  </iframe>
</div>
