PMI-Views in 3DViewStation V12

Find below a few impressions, how we are going to support PMI-views in the upcoming build of 3DViewStation: whenever 3DViewStation will find predefined PMI-views it will automatically create 3DViewStation views incl. preview images and you will be able to work with these views like with views you created manually. PMI-views will be supported for many fileformats like JT, Catia, NX and more.
Please ensure that the PMI-option has been selected in the import settings.

3DViewStation V12.0 release

We are pround to announce our 3DViewStation V12.0 release. These are the most important changes:

  • significant performance increase in 3DVS-loadtimes:
    5 GB Catia as 3DVS in 1s, 20.000 parts SolidEdge as 3DVS in 1s.
  • significant performance increase in native CAD and standard fileformat reading mode
  • new importers: NX 8.5, Rhino
  • new exporter: JT, VRML
  • section: define section plane by clicking on a face of an object
  • improvements on filtering-function:
    added filtering by object-type, i.e by plane or wire
    filtering by color: allow to select multiple colors
  • display boundingboxes of all objects in one step
  • annotations and markups are now associated with geometries
  • delete annotations via backspace key
  • improved handles to move and rotate objects

With the current set of functions and features the 3DViewStation is the perfect tool for usage in sales, marketing, review processes, change management, work preparation and technical documentation.

3DViewStation V12: 3D-CAD-Viewer Bi-Turbo

We are announcing our next release, Kisters 3DViewStation V12, which is expected in the next weeks. 3DViewStation V11 has been fast already, but 3DViewStation V12 got a bi-turbo and shows a significant performance increase again, for native CAD viewing as well as for working on our internal 3DVS-fileformat:  a 5 GB(!) Catia V5 assembly will now load in  only 1 second on a notebook, and also a 20.000 parts SolidEdge assembly will load in only 1 second.
You will read about other improvements regarding V12 soon.
