 3D Advanced Import

3D Advanced file formats: STEP, IGES, VDA, SAT and
PARASOLID.

 3D Basic Import

3D Basic file formats: STL, VRML, SLP, XGL, OBJ, PLY,
3DS, ASC, DXF, IV.

 Load STL files

Import of models in STL file format.

 Load 2D drawings

2D file formats: DXF, DWG, HPGL and HPGL2

 Load multiple files simultaneously

Merge multiple files, even with different formats,
in one scene.

 Hide and show elements

Single parts and whole assemblies can be hidden
and shown.

 Adjust graphical display of elements

The elements of the model can be colored, switched
transparent, and be shown in different render modes,
e.g. shaded, shaded with edges, hidden lines.

 Cross sections

Create cross sections of the whole model or single parts
and assemblies.

 Assembly explode

Create exploded views of the model, by moving and
turning the elements, without changing the original position.

 Animation

Combine separate Views to create 3D-Tool animations.

 Position and copy elements

Move, rotate, mirror, scale, the elements in the coordinate
system. Also create copies of elements.

 Property Editor

Quickly edit names, colors, or transparencies of elements.
Save changes for the following versions of the model.

 Placement

Move, turn, and scale parts in the coordinate system.
Align parts.

 Repair

Close open edges, reposition turned triangles, and
delete triangles.

 RP-Layout

Place parts on a Rapid Prototyping System platform.

 3D-Dimensions

Measure distance, angle, radius, diameter, edge lenght,
wall thickness, and clearance.

 2D-Dimensions

Measure distance, angle, line length, radius and
diameter.

 Tooling analysis

Display drafts in different colors and calculate the
projected area.

 Wall thickness analysis

Display wall thicknesses in different colors.

 Custom Views

Custom Views save any 3D or 2D view, including all display
settings (shown/hidden elements, cross sections, explosions)
and can viewed as needed.

 Custom View Editor

Easily change the order and the names of Custom Views.

 3D-Annotations

Create 3D-notes on the model.

 2D-Annotations

Create redline markups (Arrows, circles, sketches) in
2D drawings

 Publish EXE and DDD files

The whole project, including all Annotations, Dimensions,
Custom Views, and Animations, is contained in the 3D-Tool
EXE and DDD files. Additionally the EXE files contain the
3D-Tool Viewer and can be viewed on any computer, using
Windows, without installation.

 Publish 3D-PDF-files

Models can be published as 3D-PDF and then be viewed
with the Acrobat Reader.( 7.0.7 or higher).
