Addressing Your Challenges
With Our Solutions

Creating 3D Models With Simple and Complex B-Rep Geometry

3D ACIS and CGM Modelers set the standard with advanced modeling, seamless CAD integration, and tools for creating complex 3D models and assemblies. Developers can expand functionality with add-ons like ACIS Polyhedra, and CGM HLR. CGM and CGM Polyhedra offer advanced surfacing, defeaturing, Boolean operations, direct modeling, and hybrid techniques, generating detailed LOD for visualization and mesh optimization.

Seamless Translation With 3D InterOp

3D InterOp ensures smooth collaboration by importing 3D data from diverse BIM and CAD formats, including DXF and DWG drawings. It supports approval drawings and underlays for modeling, enabling efficient data sharing across teams.

Visualization Optimization

HOOPS Visualize simplifies 3D visualization and VR integration for AEC and BIM workflows, offering large model viewing, animation, collision detection, and mobile/web support. Paired with Spatial’s Data Prep, it optimizes workflows by filtering and compressing data, removing hidden bodies, and simplifying complex features.

Cloud-Based Application Creation

Cloud-based visualization boosts collaboration, deployment, and data security. HOOPS Communicator delivers high-quality rendering for web-based applications with customizable APIs, fast development, and full 3D data access.

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.
