Visualize
Visualize STEP data on the desktop or from any web-based application
-
Visual Styles
Use different visual styles to customize your rendering of silhouettes, obscured (hidden) edges, transparency and more.
-
Performance
Spatial filtering and other performance enhancing techniques provide fast visualization of STEP data, even for large models.
-
Navigation
Use a set of standard features for navigating through a model such as zoom, pan, 3d rotation and more.
-
Materials and Lighting
Use materials and lighting effects to create a high-quality, realistic visual representation of a model.
