Frequently asked questions
Can I use CADMATIC eBrowser as a stand-alone product?
Yes, you can use eBrowser on your computer as a stand-alone application. You can, however, also use it as an integral part of Cadmatic design tools, as an embedded viewer on a web page, or within a third-party application. eBrowser technology is also used to create the 3D view in CADMATIC eShare and CADMATIC eGo.
Can I measure the distances between objects in CADMATIC eBrowser Free?
Yes, you can measure angles, lengths, and distances between objects in CADMATIC eBrowser Free.
How can I navigate in CADMATIC eBrowser Free?
In the 3D view, you can use your mouse or keyboard to move around in the model, pan the view, rotate the camera, and so on. In normal navigation mode, you can walk (fly) freely anywhere in the model, whereas in orbit mode you can inspect a specific location by viewing it from different directions.
What can I use CADMATIC eBrowser for?
CADMATIC eBrowser is a 3D model viewer and design review tool for the engineering, construction, and operation phases of projects in the process and marine industries. You can use it to open 3D models of complex designs such as a power plants or passenger ships, and then virtually move around anywhere in the model. You can inspect individual objects, check dimensions between entities, and add markups to comment on the design.
What file formats can I open with CADMATIC eBrowser Free?
In addition to native EBM/EBMX files, you can open DWG/DXF/DWF/DGN as well as IFC and NWD files.
Can I compare two models in CADMATIC eBrowser?
Yes absolutely. CADMATIC eBrowser allows you to load two models and compare them with each other. It can detect all the differences between the two models: moved equipment or other components; rerouted pipes, ducting lines, or cable trays; changes in dimensions, the geometric model, specifications, or component attributes. eBrowser generates a list of the differences, indicates the type of change, and highlights the changes in the 3D view.
Can CADMATIC eBrowser detect collisions between items?
Yes, you can open a collision report file exported from CADMATIC design tools and display the collisions in the 3D view. CADMATIC eBrowser can also perform customizable collision checks to investigate whether parts collide, either inside a model or between models.
Can I resize the area of displayed objects in CADMATIC eBrowser?
Yes, the “Clip Box” allows you to resize the visible area of the model so that you can easily review all the objects inside a specific block or compartment.
Can I see and navigate point clouds in CADMATIC eBrowser?
If the existing structures have been scanned with a 3D scanner and the data is available as point cloud files, you can open the point clouds and the 3D models of the newly designed structures at the same time to see how they match. In CADMATIC eBrowser, you can open point clouds from several different ASCII and binary formats, including the native Cadmatic formats CPC/CPD/CPE/CPX. Moreover, the user can open point clouds with the scanner position in a bubble view.
What does fixed single-user license mean?
It means that once you have purchased a subscription, you will receive an activation key that activates the license for the specific user who will use the license for a fixed period of time. In case the user changes to a new device during this period, the same license can be released and activated on the new device upon request once per year.
Can I load more than one model in CADMATIC eBrowser? What else can I do in the models?
Yes, with CADMATIC eBrowser you can load and combine more than one model. In addition, you can upload files from different file formats and save them in a single EBM/EBMX file. You can also move, rotate, and scale the model.
How can I add comments to a model in CADMATIC eBrowser?
You can use markups to add comments and status information on top of the 3D model. In Markup Mode, you can add information like title/creator/status/importance/comment. You can also add shapes, and lines, or draw freehand to highlight parts in the model. Markups can be shared by saving them in the EBX format.
If I end the subscription and then start it again, do I lose any data?
No, your data is safe as it’s saved locally on your computer. You won’t lose any data if you decide to end your subscription and then renew it again.
