On Windows and macOS, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook support inserting 3D models directly into your documents, workbooks or presentations to illustrate a point. You can rotate models 360 degrees or tilt up and down to show a specific feature of an object.
When you insert a 3D model into your Office file you'll get a contextual tab on the ribbon under 3D Model Tools called Format. On the format tab there are some handy controls to help you customize how your 3D images are going to look.
If you've got multiple 3D models and you're having trouble selecting the one you want to work with, click the Selection Pane to turn on the list of objects. Then you can easily select the image or images that you want to select.
Pan & Zoom gives you control of how your 3D image fits within the frame. Click the Pan & Zoom button, then click and drag the object within the frame to move it. Use the Zoom arrow on the right-side of the frame to make the object appear larger or smaller within the frame.
In Outlook 2019 or newer, you can insert 3D models into an email message. To use this feature you have to be using the full-sized message editor. If you create a new email you'll already be using it, but if you are replying to a message in the reading pane you'll need to click Pop Out to expand the message editor to full-size. Then you can go to the Insert tab and click 3D Models.
One important thing to remember is that the other person won't be able to edit the model you insert in the message. 3D models in emails are converted into pictures when sent, so the other person can't edit it.
If you've got multiple 3D models and you're having trouble selecting the one you want to work with, open the Selection Pane to turn on the list of objects (Home tab > Arrange > Selection Pane). Then you can easily select the image or images that you want to select.
Select any 3D model you've inserted in Office for Windows Mobile and you should see a 3D Model tab appear on the ribbon. Here you'll find tools that let you rotate your model a preset amount (you can always just use your mouse to manually rotate it exactly the way you want, if you prefer), or make other changes.
Wrap text controls how text will flow around your 3D model on the page. Perhaps you want your model to stand alone and for text to only be above or below it? Perhaps you want the 3D model to only take part of the screen and for text to flow alongside it as well? This tool lets you make those choices.
Forward or Backward let you arrange how other objects on the page appear with your 3D model. For example, if you wanted to add an arrow shape and have it appear on top of your model, pointing at something, you could send the 3D model backward and bring the arrow shape forward, so that the arrow appears on top of your 3D model. Forward and Backward let you have multiple layers of images or objects.
Size and Position give you some tools that let you precisely resize your 3D model. If you need the 3D model to be exactly 4.12 inches tall that may be difficult to do by dragging the mouse, but in the Size and Position tool you can type the exact height and width you want. You can also use this tool to rotate your model, around any or all 3 of the axes, to a precise degree.
After you've made changes to your model you may decide that you want to undo the changes you made. The Reset button on the right end of the 3D Model tab will let you put the model back the way it was before you started changing it.
Microsoft 365 doesn't have traditional clip art, but 3D models are a new kind of clip art: The online library of ready-to-use three-dimensional graphics has many graphics to choose from that you can use as-is or adapt.
Whether you are a Microsoft Microsoft 365 user looking to acquire 3D assets for your documents or a 3D professional creating content for your clients, the 3D Content Guidelines for Microsoft are designed to help you be more successful with 3D in Office.
Depending on the version of Office you are working with, there will be differences in the available 3D features. Microsoft 365 receives regular updates and provides access to the latest features as they become available.
Office is using a real-time Rasterization renderer to create the resulting images you see when you insert a 3D model. glTF, or GL Transmission Format is the open source 3D file format used by Office to store and render all 3D models.
Many different 3D file formats can be imported and are automatically converted to glTF before rendering in Office. Because of this, it is important to understand the feature set of the glTF specification. GLB is the binary version of glTF , which allows you to store complex 3D assets in a single file for maximum portability.
The computer hardware (GPU) and the resolution of the screen used to view or present your 3D documents will have a direct impact on what fidelity of models you will be able to display while remaining performant.
This table defines some conservative targets to aim for when acquiring or authoring 3D content for a range of hardware. When in doubt, target models to the Mid-Range profile (the middle column in the table below) for a balance of fidelity and performance.
3D file sizes should be kept below 50mb whenever possible. Large 3D file sizes will directly affect the size of your documents and make them less portable. Share large documents easily using a cloud service such as OneDrive or SharePoint.
Step through the process of creating custom 3D content for real-time rendering in Office. From modelling, surfacing and animation guidance for new content, to exporting, converting and optimizing existing 3D content, this section will help to ensure that 3D assets targeted for Office will render optimally.

Whether you're creating a presentation in PowerPoint or building a catalog in Excel, 3D makes your work stand out. It's built-in to the Office apps you love, and with Paint 3D in Windows 10, you can easily edit or even create 3D models.
With AI Builder, a Microsoft Power Platform feature, you can create and use AI models that optimize your business processes. You can either use a prebuilt model that is ready for many common business scenarios, or create a custom model that meets your needs. AI Builder helps your business to automate processes and gain insights from your data in Power Apps and Power Automate.
Train your AI model: Training is an automatic process. It teaches your AI model how to resolve your business problem (for example, how to recognize your products on an image) based on your business data and tailoring. When trained, your AI model can generate insights such as the result of a prediction, or the list and number of objects detected in an image.
Use insights from your AI model: Use the results from your AI model across Power Platform to create solutions that meet your business needs, even if you have no coding skills. For example, you can create a flow that automates document processing in Power Automate or an app in Power Apps that predicts whether a supplier will be out of compliance.
Because of technical dependencies, some features are released differently in various locations. For a breakdown of the release status of AI Builder features and model types for your region, go to Feature availability by region.
Download and print the AI Builder no code AI Cheat Sheet (landscape poster) to keep it handy. It's a practical guide for anyone exploring AI capabilities within the Power Platform, tailored for ease of use and decision making. This cheat sheet demystifies AI model selection.
