▶ Player
Playback Guide
Watch 3D models assemble step-by-step in a safe, read-only preview mode that won't alter your active workspace.
1. Opening Playback
You can enter Playback mode in three ways:
- Shared Link: Click a shared ShapeShuffle link (URL ending in
#script=...). - Load .shuf File: Select a script file from the main screen or inside the Editor.
- ▶ Player Button: Replay your current session's build history from scratch.
2. Controls & Modes
While Playback is active, editing controls are locked so you can inspect the design without changing anything.
- Timeline Bar: Use the top bar to Play/Pause, step forward or backward, jump to the start/end, or swap in another
.shuffile. - Speed Options: Set pacing to Slow, Normal, Fast, or Instant.
- Tutorial Mode: Enables automated camera-following and step-by-step captions for guided learning.
3. Exiting Playback
When you are done watching, choose how you want to proceed:
| Exit Option | What Happens to Your Active Build |
|---|---|
| Close | Discards the preview and restores your active workspace exactly as you left it. |
| Load | Replaces your current workspace with the model you just watched. |
| Import | Keeps your existing project and adds the watched model alongside it. |
| Edit this code | Replaces your current workspace with the watched model and opens the Editor. |
4. Sharing Builds
To share a design, open the ShuffleScript Editor and click 🔗 Copy link. This generates a shareable web link that opens directly into Playback mode for whoever receives it.
