3D APPS LLC, a subsidiary of Koren technology company Intratech and 3D PDF Consortium member company, announced the release of not one, but three new apps for working with 3D PDF files. These three new programs, available immediately, are the first released from the newly established division located in Irvine, CA.
The first of these new applications is targeted to the users of the Autodesk Navisworks application for plant design and heavy construction. The 3D APPS 3D PDF Exporter for Navisworks works within the native application selected portions or entire models from Navisworks to 3D PDF, as well as allowing other data such as clash detection and property information to be included.
For users of Integraphs’ PDMS application, 3DAPPS Exchange for RVM to 3DPDF application allows the PDMS users to convert RVM files into 3D PDF without the need to make use of the PDMS software itself. Entire designs or selected portions can be published into a single 3D PDF which can also include the hierarchy of the design, object properties and other data.
While many developers have focused only on how to generate 3D PDF from native models, 3D APPS LLC has taken a very innovative approach by releasing an app that consumes 3D PDF files to support design reviews and project management. 3DAPPS Exchange for 3D PDF to NWC/DWF software takes 3D PDF’s generated from any design application and will create a NWC or DWF file that can be used in project review software such as Navisworks or Design Review. All of the data within the 3D PDF is imported into the specified project review application.
