This page provides you with some insights about the HOOPS Visualize Web roadmap. If you are interested in providing input or collaborating on any of the projects below, please contact HOOPS Visualize Web Product Manager or Tech Soft 3D support.

Release Plan and Schedule

See the HOOPS Target General Availability Dates.

FORMAT UPDATES PLAN

Refer to the HOOPS Exchange Roadmap for Format Updates Plan.

SHORT-TERM PROJECTS

Projects planned to be delivered in the next 4 months

  • Render Mode per body

  • Custom Shaders

  • Auto-Oriented PMI

  • Performance: faster Time To Screen

    • Data loading

    • LOD management

    • Draco compression

MID-TERM PROJECTS

Planned or on-going projects that might be delivered mid-term – After 4 months / before 12 months

  • Cloud integration

    • Microservice-oriented architecture

    • Containerization

    • Orchestration

  • Improved web viewer editing capabilities: improve the capabilities of editing scene and model properties from the web viewer. For example, select and delete annotations, etc.

  • Systematic Software Bill of Material Generation

  • Markup and Measurements

    • Selection

    • Editing Position and Attributes

  • WebGPU

    • Investigate support for WebGPU

LONG-TERM PROJECTS

Longer-term projects we are considering

  • Add support for implicit modeling

    • The generative design market is pushing the boundaries of what can be manufactured. However, since they do not typically use standard BRep / single body mesh forms HOOPS Visualize Web cannot display these models efficiently. This project will be to investigate what changes would be required to make it easier for generative design applications to use HOOPS Visualize Web.

  • Support of massive point clouds

    • As workflows in BIM & AEC continue to use large point cloud sets, Visualize Web needs to scale its support for massive sets. Some workflows include comparing large point cloud sets to the original data files to check that construction is as designed.

  • New format support: PLM/XML reader

    • PLM/XML format is an XML-based file format designed by Siemens PLM Software to facilitate interaction in product lifecycle management.

  • Support and display of Mates

    • This project will focus on delivering support of the CATIA V5 mates to help applications in Manufacturing simulation, Robotic, Kinematics Analysis and more generate a kinematics model of the assembly.

    • Mates will be supported both semantically and graphically.

    • Note that the support of Mates for other formats might be considered in future release cycles.

  • Improved support of HSF files

    • HSF files that contain drawings may not display correctly in HOOPS Visualize Web. This project aims to bring parity where possible between HOOPS Visualize Desktop and HOOPS Visualize Web for rendering.
