Clari3D is able to generate a summary dump of the loaded geometry.

Debug

The WGL module provides geometric analysis tools to improve understanding and visual control of 3D objects displayed in the scene.

It allows the activation of bounding boxes around each object in the scene. These boxes, automatically computed, help quickly assess the dimensions, volume, and position of objects in 3D space.

WGL also makes it possible to display normal vectors at each vertex of the model. This feature is particularly useful for detecting inverted faces, checking surface orientation, and ensuring geometric consistency for lighting or export operations.

In addition, Clari3D offers the display of the world coordinate system, composed of three oriented axes (X, Y, Z) and an origin point. This global reference helps users better understand the overall structure of the scene and position objects consistently.

It is also possible to display the local coordinate system of the loaded 3D model. This makes it easier to visualize the model's orientation and position independently of the world axes, which is especially useful when analyzing transformations or importing external geometry.

Finally, Clari3D can generate a complete summary of the loaded geometric data, including the number of vertices, edges, faces, the global bounding dimensions, and other useful information for diagnostics, quality checks, or export preparation.

Export your model in 2D

Sometime, it is needed to put a 3D model in a documentation. Usually, a screen copy of the rendered outlined model is inserted.

However, it should be nicer to insert a vectorial image rather than a bitmap in order to be resolution independent.

Clari3D Pro transforms any 3D model into a full 2D vectorial image with hidden lines written as dashed lines.

The supported output formats are SVG, DXF, Postscript that are full 2D vectorial formats or JPEG...

What's next?

Clari3D is a long-term project, originally planned to be developed in three phases:

A 3D modeller for Clari3D

Development Phases

  1. A robust 3D viewer: Enables reviewing any 3D CAD file on any platform, including features such as animation, slides, and other CAD tools.

  2. 3D Sharing: Provides secure sending and receiving of 3D files. This led to the creation of web plug-ins and, more recently, the WebGL 3D viewer clari3d.js.

  3. 3D Modeling: Allows users to create and edit 3D models.

The Future

Clari3D is currently in the second phase.

We have decided to discontinue the distribution of the Desktop versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux due to the high costs of development and deployment, especially on Mac and, to a lesser extent, Windows. However, we continue to maintain these applications internally. The modules of the Desktop viewer, except those related to the graphical interface, are used in Clari3D Server.

Our focus is now on the clari3D.js viewer for the Web. Internally, we have a Desktop version based on Electron, but it remains undistributed for now.

The Technologies Behind This Website

This website is powered by several powerful technologies developed by Andéor, designed to deliver performance, lightness, and full control over the infrastructure.

HTGEN — Static Website Generator (15 kldc - lines of developed source code)

HTGEN is a blazing-fast static website compiler written in Scheme. It converts your HTML or Markdown pages into a complete static website, without relying on dynamic technologies like PHP or .NET, It is developed in Scheme, a dialect of Lisp.

Result: a simple, secure, and extremely fast solution.

FSDB — Lightweight SQL Database Engine (35 kldc)

FSDB is a relational and transactional database engine entirely written in PHP. It uses a subset of SQL and stores data directly on the file system.

Key features:

With no external server required, FSDB provides a robust, lightweight, and self-contained solution for web projects.

MVC — Custom Model-View-Controller Engine (9 kldc)

This website runs on a custom-built MVC engine developed in PHP.

Architecture benefits:

A tailored engine built to fit the specific needs of this site.

Causal.js — Lightweight and Powerful JavaScript Framework (15 kldc)

Causal.js is a minimalist JavaScript framework for developers who want to move fast without sacrificing clarity. It strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and power, making projects quicker to build and easier to maintain.

Clari3D.js — Professional 3D Viewer for the Web (30 kldc)

Clari3D.js allows you to explore 3D models smoothly, right in your browser — on desktop, tablet, or smartphone. Built for professionals, it combines ease of use with high performance and versatility.

Perfect for:

Clari3D.js uses our own ultra-compact VIZ format, optimized for the web. Models load instantly, even on mobile, while preserving great visual fidelity.

For even more power, combine it with Clari3D Server to automatically convert standard 3D files into VIZ or HTML.

Clari3D Server — The Server-Side Backbone (1000 kldc)

Clari3D Server is the perfect backend companion to Clari3D.js. It handles automatic conversion of 3D files into web-ready formats (J3D or HTML), and features an innovative reverse conversion to 2D vector formats.

Most notably, it leverages our own VIZ format, designed to be the most compact 3D file format in the world. Thanks to VIZ, even complex models load in just seconds — without compromising on quality.

A powerful solution for industrializing 3D processing, in batch or real-time, with unmatched performance.

Clari3D.js now officially at NidecSat, 9 Jan 2021

clari3d.js at Nidec

Nidec has deployed on 2020 October our JavaScript 3D Web viewer clari3d.js and our batch server tool Clari3D Server in **replacement of the old plug-in based online viewer.

Leroy Somer, the electrical and industrial division at Nidec, world wide leader, uses the Andéor solutions since 2010.

The online configurator with the integrated CAD viewer has dramatically changed the user experience offering an interactive 3D representation of the configured devices. In addition to the viewer, the 2D converter is also integrated in order to generate the six projected DXF views of the configured devices.

The Andéor architecture has simplified a lot the 3D data management and reduced the maintenance costs because only one stream of 3D data is needed while several was needed before (industrial process, 3D viewer, 2D views) with specific modelers and tools.

Parts of the 3D models are pre-converted from Step to VIZ, our closed ultra-compact 3D format, in batch mode by Clari3D Server. When the user generates a device, the XEG+XAO configurator, a division of Schneider Electric Group, generates in real time an ASCII assembly file in VAS format, our ASCII assembly format; then Clari3D Server generates a J3D files for our online viewer clari3d.js. The generated VAS file is also used by Clari3D Server on demand when the user download the DXF 2D models.

The database for existing customers fixedTue, 1 Dec 2020

The database has been fixed; it had a ugly desynchronization between users and purchases, avoiding them to update new versions of the software.

If you are in this case, you should be able to recover the setups and update your installations. Do not hesitate to contact our support line in case of problems or questions.

In order to retreive the software activation code:

Just above the invoice, there is the software area; you can see the download top to bottom arrow; chick it to start downloading...

The new Website and the application are in progress.Mon, 7 Nov 2016

Changing the name of several applications as well as the licensing scheme can be a tedious task, and it is! Every link to the old name must be removed, all the URL, documentations, comments need to be changed...

Clari3D Free is now finished and tested for Mac and Windows. We are currently working on the renaming of the server tools...

-- Clari3D Team

The new website is startedWed, 10 Aug 2016 +0200

The new Website is started with an original design based on the last cutting edges technologies of the Web:

We have designed for this purpose a Website compiler that generates static Web pages.

In addition, we have renamed 'caniviz' as 'clari3d', with the new logo.

CaniVIZ.js integrationSat, 30 Jan 2016

We are finishing our WebGL CaniVIZ viewer integration: caniviz.js is a tremendous 3D viewer for the Web browsers.

From CaniVIZ Free, Light and Pro, everyone will able to save a file in either J3D (our custom 3D format for the Web) or directly in HTML with the J3D file embedded inside and put in the Web (The caniviz.js functionalities however will depend on the used CaniVIZ generator).

In addition, we have added a nice feature in the 'File/Send by email' menu of CaniVIZ: in one click, the current file can be send by email to any receivers, either in VIZ our in HTML. With the HTML format, the receiver will be able to display the 3D file without the need of installing any software...

In the future, the files sent will be optionally 'managed' ; this means that they will be stored in our server, and any receiver will be able to annotate it; the annotations will be dynamically shared between all the receivers.
