Measuring distances in an IFC model with Open IFC Viewer 22.3

Open IFC Viewer version 22.3 includes the following new features:

1. Measurement. Distances can be measured in an IFC model, including the ability to snap to the nearest vertex.
2. Publishing. IFC models can be published to interactive 3D PDF.
3. Snapshots. Model snapshots can be saved to a number of common bitmap formats.
4. Improved Visual Fidelity. Anti-aliasing and ground shadows provide greater scene realism.
5. View Cube. An interactive view cube simplifies 3D navigation.

“Our new measurement support and 3D PDF publishing make Open IFC Viewer more attractive for professional users,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “We’re also pleased to offer features such as anti-aliasing and ground shadows, which are inherited from our Visualize SDK.

“Open IFC Viewer is a great example of the type of sophisticated application you can easily build with ODA Software. ODA members can integrate our advanced technologies into their own applications, or can simply rebrand the viewer for their own needs.”
