Informative Graphics Releases Free MYRIAD 3D Reader
Informative Graphics Corporation ( IGC ) announced the release of its free MYRIAD® 3D Reader. MYRIAD 3D Reader is both a desktop application and an ActiveX component that can be embedded in other programs or run inside web pages in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Netscape.
IGC has included its Visual Rights® persistent security technology in the new MYRIAD product line. MYRIAD 8 Service Release 1 (releasing soon) allows users to publish 3D CAD models with added dimensions, cut away or cross section views and changed part colors, then publish to secure 3DF to control what reviewers can do with the model data. Visual Rights include hard or relative expiration dates, password protection and rights restrictions like measure, inside part viewing, printing and copying. Visual Rights are persistent with the model and utilize US export-approved data encryption.
The MYRIAD 3D Reader also opens 3D DWF models, STL files and static VRML CAD models. It can be used commercially for free; however, additional licensing may be required for bundling the MYRIAD 3D Reader into other fee-based software products/services. MYRIAD 3D Reader replaces the ModelPress Reader.
MYRIAD 3D Reader key features:
• Supports secure 3DF models published by MYRIAD 8 SR1 (releasing soon)
• Supports 3D DWF, STL and VRML (CAD-published) files
• Orbit, fly through, find part by name, identify part by selection, explode, cross section
• Full 3D measurements, approximate part volume, mass center and more
• ActiveX interface works with IE and Firefox/Netscape (additional download required)
• Simple interface
