Outstanding features of 3DViewer are its high-speed visualization, its versatile 3D data display capabilities and its DCOM interface, which allows users access to 3DViewer from other programs. Data Exchange:

• Import and export of range images from structured point clouds using data formats of extern 3D sensor manufacturers
• Import and export of range images from unstructured point clouds by reconstruction of the sampling matrix
• Import and export of triangle meshes using common mesh formats like 3DS, OBJ, STL, PLY, VRML, etc. 3D Display
• Optionally display hidden lines
• Optional thinning for faster display
• Optionally display vertex or triangle indices or vertex normals
• Automatic display rotation for demonstration purposes
• Define material properties such as color, specular and diffuse reflection, shininess etc.
• Display modes: points, horizontal lines, vertical lines, crossed lines, flat shading, smooth (Gouraud) shading
• Place light sources Data Analysis
• Set cutting planes for cross-section profiles
• Height-coded false color display (rainbow)
• Optional mesh coloring with colored vertices, texture bitmaps or curvature-coded colors
• Calculate data point distances Mesh Editing
• Insert/delete triangles or vertices (data points)
• Scale, translate and rotate individual objects
