Visualize

The new standard for engineering graphics

Free 60-Day Trial

Core capabilities

Visualization of different kinds of data

PDF export and publishing

Optimized performance

Rich text rendering abilities

Multi-threaded support

Rich import possibilities with access to native properties

Progressive mesh object for LOD support

Advanced GPU effects like real-time shadows

Application areas

Designed for a wide variety of tasks and problem domains

Domains and workflows

Adaptable to a wide range of application areas and workflows, including

Construction & BIM
Plant & process
PDM & PLM
General CAD and more

Point cloud
CAE
BIM

Web-based
applications

Integrate Visualize into any type of web-based system:

Configurators
PLM & PDM systems
Viewers
Markup editors and more

It can query the original model based on selected objects, and can be customized to interact with databases and other external systems

Multi-format

Unified workflow for visualization of any supported format

Add markup and custom views, and export to VSF (Visualize Stream Format) for archival and fast retrieval

Combine multiple models from any supported formats into a single view

Performance

Visualize large models with ease

Fast Performance

Spatial indexing, level of detail, other optimization techniques

Fast Redraw

An optimized scene graph stores the primary model

Markup and temporary graphics are stored separately for fast redraw

Web collaboration

Real-time responsiveness in web-based applications through the use of streaming, memory limiting and other techniques by ODA Open Cloud

Intensive GPU usage

Fast selection
FXAA

(fast approximate anti-aliasing)
Calculating and drawing lineweights
Drawing silhouettes
SSAO

(screen space ambient occlusion)

Advanced features

Collision detection, cutting planes and more

1

Collision Detection

Real-time detection of collisions between model elements. There are two types of collision detection: intersection and clearance. It is possible to specify tolerance and calculate distance or penetration depth.

2

Cutting Planes

Use of multiple cutting planes to expose and inspect interior sections of a model.

3

Measurements

The new measurement functionality allows interactive selection and measurement of distances during visualization of IFC, Autodesk® Revit®, DWG, Autodesk Navisworks® and DGN models. It is available in ODA visualization solutions on desktop, mobile and cloud platforms.

4

Shadows

Ability to add life-like shadows to enrich created models

5

Visual Styles

Creation of different effects, such as Sketch style, Translucent X-ray style and more

6

Animation

The new animation support can apply translation, rotation and scaling to any object in a model. Separate animations can be applied to sub-elements of a complex object, achieving sophisticated animation effects.

Supported formats

Visualize is compatible with all formats supported by ODA
