Yes, the embed element in Webflow can be used to embed realtime 3D scenes and adjust their dimensions. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Find a suitable 3D scene: Look for a 3D scene or model that you would like to embed. There are several platforms where you can find free or paid 3D models, such as Sketchfab, TurboSquid, or CGTrader.

  2. Obtain the embed code: Once you have found the 3D scene you want to embed, you need to get the embed code. Most 3D platforms provide an option to generate an embed code specifically for your chosen model. Look for an "embed" or "share" button on the platform and copy the given code.

  3. Add the embed element in your Webflow project: Go to your Webflow project and open the page where you want to add the 3D scene. Drag and drop the embed element from the elements panel onto your canvas. Alternatively, you can place it inside a div block or any other container element.

  4. Paste the embed code: Double-click on the embed element to open its settings. In the embed settings panel, paste the embed code you obtained in step 2 into the "Embed Code" field. Webflow will automatically render the 3D scene based on the provided code.

  5. Adjust the dimensions: By default, the embed element will inherit the dimensions of its parent container. However, you can adjust the dimensions of the embed element to fit your needs. You can do this either by manually resizing the element on the canvas or by adjusting the width and height properties in the element's settings panel.

  6. Style the embed element: To match the design of your website, you can apply custom styling to the embed element. This includes modifying the background color, adding a border, adjusting the spacing, or applying any other CSS properties that can be applied to a regular div element.

By following these steps, you can embed realtime 3D scenes into your Webflow project and adjust their dimensions to create a seamless integration with your website.
