What's New in Visual Inspect™

Unable to be used in iOS7

This app was very good for me to take my 3D models with me to show my colleagues at relevant meetings. I did recommend this to colleagues for their use at that time.

This app will not display any 3D models in iOS 7. I contacted the developers in October 2013 regarding an upgrade for iOS7. They stated this would take a few weeks. There has been no update 3 months later.

I would no longer recommend this app to anyone.

Does it all, but no one's home.

This app does what others cannot... Measure parts, and turn individual bodies on and off within an assembly.

However, the developer seems to have given up on the project, making compatibility with newer CAD programs and operating systems paralised by outdated conversion software.

The SolidWorks converter only works with 2009 and below.

not working

does not work . website othere user reports as having format support is down.

don't buy.

Design Engineer

This will be a very powerful and useful tool when it is done! Performance is much better than previous versions. The interface is still very clunky and not very intuitive. Plus no help area (or maybe that's hidden too). Maybe I will get my money's worth over time with the upgrades.

Great for showing off my 3d models

The app comes with a companion application for OSX or Windows that allows you to convert your 3d models from other formats.

I was able to convert some models from VRML 2.0 (with textures) to the format the app requires, and they look pretty good. None of the screenshots show textures, but it is possible to use bitmap UV textures.

I would like to see more options for the conversion of models (including the ability to flip the Up Axis). The ability to easily define a background image would be great too!
