Actify USA, Booth 1112. Model viewer. 3D View can be used to view Parasolid models generated by any system that exports native Parasolid. Since Parasolid is the core geometric modeler of many design and manufacturing systems, 3D View facilitates the sharing of 3D data among different users. Very large assembly management, including different part rendering, elective cross sectioning, part and subassembly filtering, and drag-and-drop, are possible. http://www.actify.com
