Hello SKRILLEXLL,

The resources below will provide you with the best practices for using 3D models in iBooks Author.

You can add 3D objects that your readers can manipulate. For this widget, you need a COLLADA file with the extension .dae .

Add a 3D object

Choose 3D from the Widgets pop-up menu in the toolbar.

To add a file, do one of the following:

Drag a file from the Finder to the widget on the page.

In the Widget inspector, click Interaction, click Choose, and choose a COLLADA file with the extension .dae.

You can also drag a 3D file directly to the book page without adding a 3D widget first.
