Clari3D® is a collaborative 3D viewer. It allows to display wide 3D files on common systems by non-specialist users.
The viewer works on Windows®, MacOS® and Linux®, and in the main Web browsers.
Clari3D is published by Andéor, SAS.
Clari3D the viewer does not require particularly powerful systems: a computer with a processor running at least 1Ghz with 200MB of RAM and an OpenGL-compatible video card with 64MB of RAM is sufficient.
The Web plug-in works with Internet Explorer version 6 and later, Firefox version 9 and later, Safari 4 and later.
In this user guide, we present examples from different operating system. Indeed, Clari3D works on multiple systems, and the ergonomics is the same on different systems.
Important information is identified with the logo against.
The logos , , , and indicate a feature that is only available for the identified version of Clari3D.

Clari3D is a software designed to run on multiple operating systems. Particular care has been taken to ensure that the different versions of Clari3D are very similar between the different platforms while using the specificities of each system as shown in the following synopsis:
| menu | |
|---|---|
| toolbar | |
| tree view | viewport |
| config box | |
| status bar | |
By default, the user interface is in a basic mode. In this mode, only the most current functionalities are displayed. In the expert mode, all the options are proposed. The current mode is saved in the VIZ files in a such way that the user to whom you will send the file are in the expected mode.
Clari3D has a modular software structure. In some versions of Clari3D or some other tools, these modules are physical DLL (Dynamic Linked Library).
This modular structure is in the form of a software bus (by analogy to a hardware bus) to which are connected the various modules.
Each module provides a specific software function, for example, the "cutting plane" function is provided by the 3DCut module. It would be perfectly possible to have the same function implemented in different a way coexist within Clari3D because the modules are completely independent of each other.
This User Guide will follow this modular software structure.
The document manager in Clari3d is very simple and only allows in its current version to handle one file at a time. It will be improved in its further versions...
A file can be opened by several ways, either from the startup screen,
or with the menu "File/Open", or with the toolbar button
. During the installation of
Clari3d, the installer links the VIZ files to Clari3d; this way,
clicking on a VIZ file from the system file manager launches Clari3d
on the file.
When the user opens a file from Clari3d, it displays a dialog box prompting the user to select the file to open. This dialog can also select files based on their type and choose the type of file to open.
Certain file types are can be opened only if a corresponding purchasable option is installed. This is the case for example of the DXF/DWG files. Andéor sells these readers separately because they are based on software components marketed by third party company.
Some file formats have additional options that can be accessed by clicking on the "Options" button. This button is displayed only if there is such options and if the *.* filter is not selected.
The applications bought in the AppleStore have an efficient protection system that move on startup the applications in a virtual environment called SandBox. In this environment, the applications are allowed to open only the files selected by the user in the Open/File dialog box. Thus, the files associated to a 3D file such as the textures cannot be opened. As a workaround, Clari3D proposes to the user to select a directory that contains the 3D files; This way, all the files I this directory can be opened by Clari3D. Of course, the user can refuse to select this directory...
This dialog box proposes the following choices:
Select once: The selected directory will be accessible only during this working session; this choice will be forgotten when Clari3D will be stopped.
Bypass: No directory will be selected.
At any time, the user can choose the working directory with the menu "Option/Documents directory".
Some CAD readers have spdcific options. These options cna be changed with the "option" button in the file/open dialog box:
Number of decimals: Specify the number of decimals of the vertex coordinates. This is a technic to optimize the number of vertices by merging very similar vertices. The vertex coordinates are not rounded by default.
Invert Y & Z: Invert the Y and the Z values of the coordinates. Some models are not correctly positioned and this option allows to put the model on the ground.
Clari3D is a commercial software that can be purchased from online stores such as Apple Store®, Ubuntu Store®, the Windows Store® and online Clari3D Store.
