Decimation tool

This tool permits to supprime geometrical data of your 3D objects without degrading the graphic render. Why?
1. in order to protect your conception datas.
2. in order to optimize the size of the files

Real Time measure and annotation tool

Calculate and display various properties between multiple objects in a multiple way:
• angles,
• volumes,
• surfaces,
• distances.
Bounding boxes: calculate and display sizes of the bounding box of an object or of the whole 3D scene.

3D annotations: create annotations directly in the 3D scene.
Classical annotations: create annotations on Subdo's views and always keep them on sight.
Hand drawn annotations: Draw your annotation in real-time in the 3D scene.
