Model Tree Organization
The model tree is located on the left hand side of the ENGINEERING.com Viewer and it is used to organize the model assembly, markups, and views of a .3D file.
Toggling between  and  will show/hide various features.

Markups for all participants to view
Markups can be saved onto a .3D file so that all participant users can view the comments made by all the participating members. There are two types of markups: 2D notes and 3D notes.
2D notes are placed anywhere within the viewer box and will stay fixed when rotating/zooming/panning the object.
3D notes can be made so that comments can be attached to a specific point on the object. 3D notes rotate/zoom/pan along with the object |
Ability to select preferred Appearance settings
Every user has the ability to select their desired view. These appearances include default, shaded edges, triangular mesh, wire frame, hidden lines, and dotted.
|
Perform Cross Sections
The ENGINEERING.com Viewer allows users to perform cross sections on an object so that parts can be dissected and the inside views can be seen. Choose from YZ, XZ, or XY planes. |
 |
Change Units depending on specifications
Each user can change the units depending on specifications or preferences. These units include: Microns, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters, Kilometers, Micro-Inches, Mils, Inches, Feet, Miles, Degrees, DegreesMinSec, Grads, Radians
