`model-viewer` is a **template**, read by [`smootify-product`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/smootify-product): it is never defined on its own.

## Where it can go

- **Inside** [`smootify-product`](https://www.smootify.io/docs/reference/elements/smootify-product).
- **Out of place,** it stays in the page and does nothing: created by Smootify, not placed by the designer.

## What it requires

Nothing beyond Smootify: it works on every plan.

## Attributes on the element

- **Smootify writes** `poster`, `alt`, `src`, `shadow-intensity`, `camera-controls` on it: do not set them yourself.
