SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer
Use
Product visualization is an integral component in modern business software solutions. SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer provides visualization as a permanently available and fully integrated solution component. The viewing functionality is always available to enable the visualization of parts and assemblies when working on tasks within a business process.
With SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer, you can extend correct and uniform product data across the complete enterprise by publishing 2D images and 3D scenes on all industry-standard desktop applications. You can improve the quality of internal and external communication as well as collaboration processes.
SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is available both as a standalone executable program and as an ActiveX control. The standalone program provides an easy convenient way for viewing files and associated collaboration. 3D files display as standalone files, rather than as objects embedded in Word or PowerPoint. The ActiveX control allows the viewing and collaboration functionality of SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer to be used from web pages, Word documents, PowerPoint Presentations, and other ActiveX compliant applications.
Some of these 3D scenes can include one or more of the following:
- Parts list with or without associated metadata
- Model views
- Animated scenes
- Steps
- PMI Information
- Markups
