====== Local Viewer SDK for Plugins ======

This page describes how to configure the use of a Local copy of the Viewer SDK, connecting to the on-premises Orbit Publisher, for offline use or to support an insecure connection between Plugin-Viewer SDK and Publisher service.

==== Why ====

The plugin can be configured to connect to a local 3DM Publisher. E.g. to be loaded offline, without connecting to the online CDN, or to avoid HTTPS-HTTP mixed content issues when connecting secure Https to the CDN and insecure Http to the local Publisher. 

==== How ====

A plugin configuration file needs to be added to point the plugin to the local Publisher.

Hereby the configuration file for every available offline plugin:
  * QGIS: {{ :252:products:plugin_qgis.zip |}}
  * ArcGIS: {{ :252:products:plugin_arcmap.zip |}}
  * ArcGIS Pro: {{ :252:products:plugin_arcpro.zip |}}
This ini-file has to be copied to the folder ''C:\plugins'' on the machine where the host application is installed. Modify 'http://localhost:1111' to the specs of the installed 3DM Publisher. 

==== Additional Options ====

See [[desktop_viewer_options]] for more options you can add to the plugin configuration file.
