Three D Graph View
Built by Sidepath Studio.
Built by Sidepath Studio - small apps, practical tools, and digital experiments.
Three D Graph View is a released Sidepath Studio tool for Obsidian, built to make vault structure easier to explore from another angle.
Overview
Three D Graph View adds a rotatable, graph-style view for exploring notes, links, backlinks, folders, tags, and vault growth over time.
It is designed for visual scanning: find clusters, see folder groups, inspect direct relationships, and keep the note you are working on visible inside a larger vault structure.
Find the note you are working on
The currently open markdown note is brought into focus and marked with a subtle pulse and sonar ping.
Watch the active note sonar demo
Folder and tag colouring
Colour note bubbles by folder, then layer tag nodes on top for another way to read structure across the vault.
Explore connected notes
Hover over a node to keep it and its direct connections clear while the rest of the graph fades back.
Watch your vault build over time
Timelapse mode replays the graph in note creation order, making the shape of the vault easier to understand as it grows.
Features
- Rotate, pan, zoom, and auto-rotate through a 3D vault graph.
- Core-to-surface spherical layout for a globe-like graph volume.
- Folder-based note colours with per-folder colour controls.
- Optional tag nodes with per-tag colours and muted sub-tag inheritance.
- Current note focus with pulse and sonar ping.
- Hover highlighting for a node and its direct connections.
- Viewport-aware fit with dense-centre rotation.
- Timelapse replay based on note creation order.
- Settings for labels, unresolved links, backlinks, tag visibility, disconnected group spread, node size, and sphere strength.
Usage
Open the command palette and run Open 3D graph view.
The graph toolbar includes refresh, fit, settings, timelapse, and auto-rotate controls.
Manual installation
