IFC Improvements
Support additional classes and information that will help model analysis and querying. This will include both the semantic information and being able to display the relationships graphically.
Optimizations for Pipes and Beams
New format support: Navisworks Reader
Navisworks is a 3D design review solution used primarily in construction industries.
This project will focus on the NWD format which corresponds to the publishing of a project, including all loaded models, the environment, views, and saved viewpoints.
Improved support for SolidWorks materials
The support of visual models’ appearances (material, textures, decals) is meant for high fidelity rendering and full-color printing of parts and will serve PLM/Visualization as well as Manufacturing as a Service applications. The scope of this project is to improve the support of SolidWorks appearances by adding the surfacic projection for textures as well as decals.
Improved rendering quality
Communicator will improve our PBR rendering support, including clearcoat and specular materials. This is required to render many glTF models as expected.
Space Mouse support
Support for 3DConnexion’s Space Mouse will be added to the Web Viewer.
MID-TERM PROJECTS
Planned or on-going projects that might be delivered mid-term (in one or two releases) – After 4 months / before 12 months
