Tip #5: Using the BRO 3D Viewer to Add Dimension to Your Presentations

We often hear from our software clients that much of their effort goes into developing presentations and sharing results with other members of their teams. If you find yourself presenting results using the ASAP® 3D Viewer, there are a couple of things you may not realize that could add impact to your show. Rather than send a static screen capture of your results, you can send someone a 3D vector file, and a BRO external viewer to see the results.

First, the BRO 3D Viewer (Bro3DViewer.exe in the ASAPVxRx bin directory) can be run without an ASAP license key, and may be freely shared with others to let them view your ASAP 3D files. The ASAP default vector file, ASAPTEMP.VCR, is usually viewed in ASAP using $VIEW. This file may be sent, along with the viewer, to allow your associates to have a 3D look at your work.

If you have several results to present, you may use $COPY to copy these 3D vector files to other, meaningful, names. Distribution files (e.g. BRO009.DAT) created by a measurement command like SPOTS POSITION or FIELD ENERGY may also be viewed using the external 3D Viewer, though it may be necessary to change the file type in the File Open dialog to the "All Files (*.*)" option to find them when you browse. These can be loaded along with geometry or other vector information for a very informative look at your work.

Further, adding text labels to the geometry, ray trace, or measurement data in the 3D Viewer may make it easier for them to understand, but that's a subject for another tip.
