“The new measurement capabilities in Visualize simplify the process of integrating custom design review into any application,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “Snapping is also supported to provide precise results during measurement.
“In addition to the new measurement ability, we’ve improved the user interface in our example applications to support selection during pan, orbit and free orbit operations. It’s a small change, but one that greatly improves overall usability of our visualization technology.”
