How Our Solutions
Address Your Challenges

Creating 3D Models with Simple and Complex B-Rep Geometry
CGM and CGM Polyhedra offer advanced surfacing capability, robust Boolean operation, powerful direct modeling capability and hybrid modeling. These robust components will also allow for generating different LODs for visualization, such as defeaturing, tessellation for the Brep model and decimation of triangles for MESH data.

Seamless Translation with 3D InterOp
Spatial’s 3D InterOp provides a simple interface to access 3D data from different file types for geometric applications. 3D InterOp reads DXF DWG drawings and imports 2D drafting sheets as approval drawings to create a base or underlay for 3D modeling. This robust interoperability solution supports data import from various BIM and CAD industry formats.

Visualization Optimization
Integrating 3D visualization and virtual reality functionality into the AEC and BIM software workflow can be costly and time-prohibitive due to the skill set required. HOOPS Visualize allows for large model visualization, animation, collision detection, and mobile and web visualization. HOOPS Visualize is easy to use and can be combined seamlessly with a Spatial 3D modeler.

Cloud-Based Application Creation
The benefits of a cloud-based 3D visualization application include reaching more customers, promoting geographic collaboration, easier deployment, less complex updates and maintenance, safer intellectual property, and better data-loss protection. HOOPS Communicator is a powerful, web-based 3D graphics SDK designed to enable high-quality rendering and seamless integration for design engineering and manufacturing applications. It offers customizable APIs to accelerate the development of web-based applications and supports comprehensive access to 3D data, optimized performance and out-of-the-box functionality.




AEC Targeted Software Workflow
challenges of the AEC industry. Our 3D modeling, visualization, interoperability and
meshing solutions can be crafted into a customized workflow that fits your specific
needs.
Features Benefiting AEC Workflows
planning for small to large built environments. From universal format support to data
manipulation, simulation, Revit read/write capabilities and MRO support, the elements you
need to complete the job are ready to assist you.

Comprehensive Modeling Solutions
Cover All Your 3D Modeler Needs
Our CGM Modeler and 3D InterOp SDKs provide all of the data libraries you need to cover every end-user 3D modeling requirement. CGM and CGM Polyhedra offer advanced surfacing capability, robust Boolean operation, powerful direct modeling and hybrid modeling capabilities. These robust components will also allow for generation of different LOD for visualization such as defeaturing, tessellation for the B-Rep model and decimation of triangles for MESH data.
Universal Format Support
Enhance BIM Interoperability
Empower your applications to import a range of 3D modeling formats as well as create and edit geometry in those formats (including Autodesk Revit® and CAD). We’ve taken special care when designing our BIM software suite to ensure that it works with the major industry formats used. This includes, but is not limited to:
- IFC
- Autodesk Revit®
- DGN
- DXF/DWG
- Computer Aided Design (CAD) Formats
By leveraging our SDKs, you’ll give your end-users the ability to work with any team or workflow (no matter what BIM suites they’re using) without the costs of licensing from the leading BIM vendors.

Analysis Support
Automatic Feature Recognition
Provide a robust BIM experience to your end-users with an Automatic Feature Recognition system that streamlines your mesh generation and structural, thermal and fluid simulations.
You can also enable Topology Editing and Optimal Mesh Generation.

Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Support
Facilitate Documentation and Viewing of BIM Changes
Equip your end-users with the ability to document changes in BIM formats, STEP and PDF. You can also enable them to view BIM information on the web and through mobile applications.
Spatial also enables augmented reality (AR) through an integrated visualization toolkit.

Facilities Management
Develop Advanced BIM Applications
You can also develop BIM applications for facilities management. This can include applications aimed at identifying and removing sources of waste in process, increasing efficiencies, cutting risks to safety, and other risk-factors for maintaining and renovating facilities.
