In the new C3D Viewer version, you can select multiple files in the open file dialog box. Each selected file is opened in a new tab. This feature saves time when you want to view multiple models at once.
There is a new object isolation command. Now you can select a body or shell on the model area or in the design tree, and hide all other objects with a click in the context menu. This is convenient if you want to focus on a specific element and temporarily remove all its surroundings. To unhide all objects, use the design tree commands.

C3D Viewer now supports C3D Converter plugins. These plugins enable viewing IFC, SolidWorks, and NX file formats. This is especially useful to test the model visualization quality before integrating these plugins into your application. All you need to do is to put the plugins in the `bin' folder and to keep an updated license key. To request the plugins, please use the feedback form at https://c3dlabs.com/contact-us/.
Now C3D Viewer renders surface roughness symbols on KOMPAS-3D models. These symbols are an essential component of digital mockup PIMs. To display PMI, enable the option in the application settings.
