“Our new measurement support and 3D PDF publishing make Open IFC Viewer more attractive for professional users,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “We’re also pleased to offer features such as anti-aliasing and ground shadows, which are inherited from our Visualize SDK.
“Open IFC Viewer is a great example of the type of sophisticated application you can easily build with ODA Software. ODA members can integrate our advanced technologies into their own applications, or can simply rebrand the viewer for their own needs.”
