Pablo Elenter asked about distributing 3D CAD Information over the internet and
was looking for a cheap VRML viewer that supports measurements and sectioning.
I'm not aware of any with the last two features, but the SolidPlayer can do
what you want and it's FREE.
You can distribute 3D CAD information together with measurements and sectioning
using the SolidPlayer program on your intranet or over the internet for FREE !
See www.solidconcepts.com/sldview_sfx_demos.htm for an example of how this
is accomplished. You'll need to download the SolidPlayer to view the SFX
files associated with the images.
The SolidPlayer works with either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer.
(If you set up your own Web Server, you will have to add the SFX mime type
to get the SFX files to launch SolidPlayer and not just appear as text).
The SolidPlayer is the FREE viewer for SFX files which supports 3D
visualization
with mulitple saved 3D views with dimensions and annoations. The user also
has full interactive visualization, measurement and sectioning features in
addition to the saved 3D views.
You can download the SolidPlayer over the internet at www.solidconcepts.com
at no
charge or be provided a copy for free by any SolidView user.
To create SFX files you'll need a copy of SolidView which, together with your
input, can author SFX files from STL, IGES or VRML 1.0 (in release 2.1 - April).
Good luck with your project.
