3D Navigate

3D Navigate enables you to navigate objects in 3D using new loading strategies. The intention is to optimize the navigation of large data models such as airplanes and boats.

3D Navigate offers the following capabilities:

  • Navigate the various levels of the structure of an assembly.
  • Perform measurements and sectioning operations on the fly including lock section results.
  • Switch to High Definition mode.
  • Perform volume queries.
  • Loaded data is based on the user's viewpoint. The minimal amount of data is requested from the server, which decreases out-of-memory failures.
  • Loading boxes are drawn where the loading of objects has not been completed. They can either:
    • Progressively disappear as the geometry is loading, until viewpoint completion.
    • Stay on the screen if the memory limit is reached. You can then navigate to a more precise viewpoint that will allow the loading to complete.

Supported Data Types
The core supported data types are VPMReference, VPMRepReference, and those inherited from them.
Note: In 3D Navigate, only 3D geometries are supported. 2D documents, for example Drawings, are not supported.
