With the SolidView® family of products, design communication has never been easier. SolidView is a low-cost, easy to use, program for viewing and measuring a variety of 3D CAD data formats. With the SolidView family of products, anyone with a Windows PC can view, measure, and mark up CAD data. Instead of working with confusing paper drawings, you can now have a real-time shaded view of your CAD designs, without the need for expensive CAD hardware or software, and without extensive training.

SolidView reads STL, SolidWorks, VRML, and OBJ. SolidView reads the SFX file format, and SolidView provides the ability to add notes and markups to an existing SFX file, enabling bi-directional 3D communication. SolidView's measuring, 3D dimensioning, and annotation features make it easy to communicate design intent or to highlight changes or errors. With one mouse click, you can instantly calculate the volume, surface area, mass, and center of gravity of complex designs and assemblies. Note and text features let you add detailed design information, and an electronic grease pencil lets you add red-line markups.
