5 simple display modes are provided; shaded, wireframe (edges only), HLR, HLD, and shaded with 50% transparency. Faces with transparency properties in the original model will remain transparent in shaded mode. An additional Flat display mode helps test faceting.
To help users feel at home moving around the viewport, available settings modes allow quick setup of mouse-based view manipulation to match the default setup of major vendors. Certified support for 3Dconnexion motion controllers is also included.
All of the contents of files are listed in text form in a collapsible tree list. Highlighting is paired between the list and the graphics viewport to help find details.
The cutting plane function allows users to easily visualize the interior sections of complex parts. The DynaHandle axes can be cursor dragged, aligned to geometry on the model, or offset by user-entered distance or angles.
Support Model-based Definition (MBD) processes by reading Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) including 3D geometric tolerances from these formats:

The Discover Assemblies option automatically discovers sets of geometrically identical 3D bodies. This capability can significantly reduce file size, and save time and potential errors when working with large assemblies which have been saved into a single CAD file.
The Bill of Materials option automatically creates a numbered table listing unique references or solids, their quantity, and name. A balloon annotation pointing to each part is also generated to help users identify each.
Access basic measurements and size/physical properties of entities from the part tree list or from pop-up tooltips in the graphics window. Parameter information of machined hole, constant radius fillet, and general chamfer geometric features are also provided. Sets of identical features are collected as patterns.
Easily measure:
Mass Properties calculates the volume, center of mass, moments of inertia, etc. of bodies and assemblies in the units selected by the user.
This function colors the facets of solids according to their angle off of the user specified pull direction (axis). This supports finding undercuts or areas of the part which may be difficult to extract from a mold without special features or design changes.
Create 3D solid volumes around selected parts to determine packaging or stock material size requirements.
Save screen as PNG image capture or save 3D models in Kosmos KFW lightweight format for quick open in View and Convert products.
Open your CAD file and save as an STL. The facet refinement option allows for adjustment of mesh quality. Options support one STL file per solid or a single STL file.
