Figma and Sketchfab

You can connect two outside accounts to AR Clip. Both work the same way: you give AR Clip a personal key, and it then works with those services as you.

Connecting an account

Integrations live in your account settings, not inside a project — a key is yours, and it works across every project you open.

AR Clip never asks for a key in a chat

If the assistant ever asks you to paste a token into a conversation, do not. Enter it on the integrations page and nowhere else.

Your key is stored encrypted, and it is never shown again — the page displays only its last few characters so you can tell which key is connected.

Getting a Figma token

Figma → Settings → Security → Personal access tokens → Generate new token

File content: Read-only is enough. There is no reason to give write access; AR Clip only ever reads your designs.

Getting a Sketchfab token

Sketchfab → Settings → Password & API → API token
Why your own key, and not ours

Figma files are private to whoever can open them. A shared key would see a completely different set of files from the ones you see — usually none at all. The same goes for Sketchfab models that are not public.

If the page says keys cannot be stored securely yet, the server is missing its encryption secret — an administrator has to set it before any key can be saved.

Bringing in a Figma design

Paste the link to a frame, copy it straight from Figma, or the file key. AR Clip reads the frame and builds either of two things:

Import asYou get
A scenethe layout rebuilt as objects in 3D: sizes, colours, text and images
An interface cardthe layout rebuilt as a UI card, which is usually what a designed screen should be
Pick the frame, not the file

Copy the link with the frame selected. Handing over a whole marketing page produces hundreds of layers and a scene nobody can work with — you almost always want one section.

Practical limits: around 900 layers and 200 images per import. Past that the import is minutes of uploading for something that was not worth importing whole.

What travels well: frames, groups, rectangles and their corner radii, strokes, text with its size and colour, and images. What does not: anything that only exists as a Figma effect. Treat the import as a very good starting point rather than a pixel-exact copy.

Bringing in a Sketchfab model

Sketchfab appears as a source in the library panel, under the 3D model tabs. Search it like any other source, and importing copies the model into your project.

With your account connected you also reach your own models — including ones that are not public.

Check what you are allowed to use

Sketchfab models carry their own licences, and "downloadable" is not the same as "free to use in a commercial project". The licence is on the model's page; it is worth reading before it ends up in something you publish.
