Supported 3D File Types

Current CM4D version supports HOOPS Exchange 2023. See the TechSoft3D website for their current list of supported 3D model types.

CM4D views support 3D model files as either Routine or Document images. Images are supported directly using the HOOPS Exchange technology. There are no additional drivers, libraries, configuration or licensing required. On loading an image file, CM4D automatically converts the 3D model into a VRML at load-time. Only tessellated data is loaded from the CAD file.

The following CAD file types are supported in CM4D:
