  Hi there. I’m afraid Sketchfab uses flash code which is not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons (https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/). You could take a screenshot of your model, or if Sketchfab allows you to take JPG or PNG snapshots you can do that and then upload that image to your media library and insert it that way, but then it will be just a regular static image and not an interactive one like on the Sketchfab site.

  You might be able to embed it using the gigya shortcode. However, be aware that shortcode is not officially supported, so there’s no guarantee that it will work, but it’s worth a shot. You can see this tutorial for instructions in using that shortcode: https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/gigya-shortcode-3-widgets/

  If you want to request that support for Sketchfab be added, you can do so in the Ideas forum: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/ideas#postform Be sure to also include a link to the Sketchfab page.

  Please let me know if gigya works. Then I can better advise other users on this in future as well.
