Actify Advances Design Visualization with 3DView 4.0; New Release Puts Communication at the Heart of CAD Visualization.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 17, 2001 Actify, Inc., the Design Visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all Company(TM), announced today the release of 3DView 4.0, a major step forward for CAD design visualization. 3DView is the leading solution for understanding CAD models and drawings without requiring design software. The 4.0 release adds significant communication capabilities by integrating email and web-based solutions for exchanging CAD designs and feedback throughout the extended product development organization. 3DView delivers extensive viewing, measurement, and markup (text) markup - In computerised document preparation, a method of adding information to the text indicating the logical components of a document, or instructions for layout of the text on the page or other information which can be interpreted by some automatic system. capabilities as well as unmatched access to native CAD files without additional software or servers. Highlights of the 3DView 4.0 release include: -- One-click email of designs viewable with the free SpinFire Viewer -- Enhanced measurements for exacting applications throughout the manufacturing process -- Secure web-based sharing of designs through Actify's SpinFire.net "3DView has always given us a consistent, easy-to-use interface to a wide variety of design files," observed Sean Halpin, Design Manager at Eifel Mold & Engineering, a key supplier to the automotive industry The automotive industry is the industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles. In 2006, more than 69 million motor vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles were produced worldwide. . "Now, 3DView 4.0 makes sharing designs and collecting feedback easier than ever before.

We anticipate significant benefits to our business from the adoption of 3DView 4.0 throughout our company." Unlimited sharing of designs from 3DView 4.0 is made possible using Actify's free SpinFire Viewer. All of Actify's visualization solutions share the standard view-only .3D file format, delivering complete, accurate, and secure design information in a highly compressed file. SpinFire Viewer provides rotate, pan, and zoom To change from a distant view to a more close-up view (zoom in) and vice versa (zoom out). An application may provide fixed or variable levels of zoom. A display adapter may also have built-in zoom capability. as well as advanced cross-section capabilities for visualizing visualizing, v 1., holding an image in one's mind. 2., forming an image of a goal or destination in one's mind before undertaking it, so as to facilitate success. critical design details. Direct measurements such as distances and angles are also provided, along with annotation 1.

"Actify led the way in establishing design visualization as a standard manufacturing tool for non-designers," remarked Cristiano Sacchi, Vice President of Engineering at Actify. "3DView helps our customers understand critical design details regardless of design format. Now, Actify takes visualization a step further by integrating design communication directly into the visualization environment. Effectively communicating design feedback yields cost-savings and shortens time-to-market for manufacturers, and involving non-designers is now easier than ever before." About Actify, Inc.
