IMSI/Design Announces TurboReview Mobile Mark-Up Solution First to Support 3D PDF

IMSI®/Design today announced TurboReview™, the 2D and 3D mobile mark-up solution for the AEC world to support 3D PDF (U3D).

"Having a lightning-fast mobile app that lets you markup and measure a wide range of industry standard 2D and 3D documents, like DWG and 3D PDF, is a huge advantage for those in the field," stated Royal Farros, CEO of IMSI/Design.

Besides being able to support 3D PDF, TurboReview includes several other elements, including text that is "always facing" and arrow leaders that will snap to a 3D object, both important when orbiting in 3D.

TurboReview includes:
