### Implement HelixViewport3D Control

Source: https://docs.helix-toolkit.org/en/latest/wpf/getting-started.html

Add the HelixViewport3D control to the layout, including light sources and 3D geometry definitions.

```xml
<HelixToolkit:HelixViewport3D ZoomExtentsWhenLoaded="True">
    <!-- Remember to add light to the scene -->
    <HelixToolkit:SunLight/>
    <ModelVisual3D>
        <ModelVisual3D.Content>
            <GeometryModel3D>
                <GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
                    <MeshGeometry3D x:Name="meshMain"
                        Positions="0 0 0  1 0 0  0 1 0  1 1 0  0 0 1  1 0 1  0 1 1  1 1 1"
                        TriangleIndices="2 3 1  2 1 0  7 1 3  7 5 1  6 5 7  6 4 5  6 2 0  2 0 4  2 7 3  2 6 7  0 1 5  0 5 4">
                    </MeshGeometry3D>
                </GeometryModel3D.Geometry>
                <GeometryModel3D.Material>
                    <DiffuseMaterial x:Name="matDiffuseMain">
                        <DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
                            <SolidColorBrush Color="Gray"/>
                        </DiffuseMaterial.Brush>
                    </DiffuseMaterial>
                </GeometryModel3D.Material>
            </GeometryModel3D>
        </ModelVisual3D.Content>
    </ModelVisual3D>
    <HelixToolkit:GridLinesVisual3D Width="8" Length="8" MinorDistance="1" MajorDistance="1" Thickness="0.01"/>
</HelixToolkit:HelixViewport3D>

### Configure XAML Namespace for Helix Toolkit

Source: https://docs.helix-toolkit.org/en/latest/wpf/getting-started.html

Add the HelixToolkit namespace reference to the Window node to enable usage of toolkit controls in XAML.

```xml
<Window x:Class="YourNamespace.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:HelixToolkit="clr-namespace:HelixToolkit.Wpf;assembly=HelixToolkit.Wpf"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourNamespace"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
```
