Model
A piece of furniture or your own 3D model, in 2.5D or turned any way in 3D.
Official, in the community Tiledash’s own, as @tiledash/model. It’s in every account’s widget picker, nothing to install, and gets better by itself. About the community

Shows one model on its own, filling the tile: a piece of Tiledash’s furniture, one of your own 3D models, or one you installed from the Community. Pick it with the search in the tile’s settings; each model shows as a small picture.
Models built with appearance groups offer independent colours and finishes under Appearance: painted matte, satin, gloss, wood grain, woven fabric, brushed metal and clear glass. Imported material groups also offer Original, Tint (preserving the imported texture) and Replace (using a surface finish). These choices affect this tile only. Colour, finish and pattern settings reset independently to the author’s defaults. Explicit choices survive theme changes; Paper stays monochrome.
In 2.5D it is seen from a fixed angle above, as on a floor plan. In 3D you set the camera yourself by dragging the model in the tile’s settings, any way round: from below, upside down or rolled. With Rotate on, people can turn it on the dashboard too; a drag never counts as a tap, and the model goes back to your camera when the page reloads.
Give it a device and it lights up while the device is on: a lamp’s shade glows in the light’s colour, anything else glows softly around itself. A tap switches the device. On e-ink and on screens without WebGL 2 the tile shows the model’s outline from above.
