ThreeDify Designer 5.2.2

ThreeDify Designer is a useful OpenGL based 3D solid modeling, CAD prototyping and view mark-up program. It runs in either of two modes: as an ActiveX control in the Internet Explorer and as a standalone end-user application. ThreeDify Designer features an intuitive, non-blocking and customizable GUI, an import/export plug-in architecture, unlimited undo/redo, up to 6 view clipping planes, associative 3D dimensions (angular, radial, point-to-point, point-to-face, X-,Y- and Z-dimensions) for accurate model measurements, robust Boolean operations on 3D meshes and 2D polygons, 2D mark-up tools, 3D slicing for arbitrary or axis-aligned profile generation, polygon offset, one-click roof/wall/house creation, local vertex editing on 3D meshes, polylines and polygons, and an array of other powerful 3D object creation tools (e.g., extrusion from complex and nested profiles, 3D polygon and mesh creation from true type fonts, and optimal solid reconstruction from planar, non-parallel contours). As a control, ThreeDify Designer has one unique feature that differentiates itself from other 3D ActiveX controls currently available on the market: its built-in rich GUI. All the functionality and GUI elements in the application version are also available in the control version and are accessible through ThreeDify Designer’s Context Sensitive Menu, Control Panel and Tool Bar. As a result, no user programming is required to make full use of AcitveSolid control. Another unique feature of ThreeDify Designer is its import/export plugin architecture using COM’s Component Category technology that enables third party developers to independently develop their own ThreeDify Designer importers and exporters. ThreeDify Designer can be hosted in many standard ActiveX containers, such as Internet Explorer and Microsoft ActiveX Control Test Container. Version 1.6.2 and up is both a scripting server (i.e., as a scripting host) and a scripting client (i.e., automation capable). ThreeDify Designer is written entirely in C++/ATL/WTL and is thus very compact. All functionality is packed inside ThreeDify Designer.dll for just a little over 2mb (excluding OpenGL.dll for rendering and FreeImage.dll for 2D image import/export). It costs $69 or less (depending on license type) to register. To our knowledge, it is the only high quality solid modeling and view mark-up program/control in this price range.
