About ThreeDify Office Designer

 

office_designer_iconThreeDify Office Designer is a powerful 3D editing, markup and visualization tool with support for over 40 popular 3D  file formats that also allows you to create  or modify 3D content right in the viewer window with an array of powerful 3D editing tools. ThreeDify Office Designer brings all the functionality of our Designer 3D technology to Microsoft Office as an add-in that works just like any other native feature in applications like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Office Designer integrates seamlessly with your Office toolbars and interface, so incorporating 3D designs and objects in your Office documents is as simple as dropping in an image. Office Designer transforms Microsoft Office into a powerful 3D design and communications tool that allows you to visualize, create, import, edit, and mark up 3D content from inside any Office document.

Office Designer allows you to create a virtually unlimited number of 3D instances inside Office Documents.  Even Better, a 3D object instance that is open in one Office application is available to all your other Office applications, so you can import a 3D model into PowerPoint, and then create a table of all the sub-objects and dimensions in Excel - all with a few mouse clicks.

What Can Office Designer Do For You?

ThreeDify Office Designer makes collaborating and exchanging content with clients and co-workers as easy for 3D content and 3D CAD designs as it is for 2D images.  Consider the example of 3D content creation for games and television: instead of creating test levels or video renders for every stage of production, artists can simply drop their designs in a Word document or a PowerPoint presentation for review and sign-off by a producer.

Interior designers and architects can use Office Designer to share updates and design changes with their clients by simply sending them a Word document. Freelance artists and illustrators can use Office Designer to submit concept art to clients as part of a PowerPoint presentation.

Office Designer makes sharing real 3D content painless and practical in many situations where it simply hasn't been until now.

No Messy File Management or "Textures" Folders

All you need to view 3D content is the free viewer version of the Designer add-in.  This means that you can easily share 3D content with clients or development partners without requiring them to purchase software. The 3D content that you add to an Office document with ThreeDify Office Designer is saved inline as part of the document - including any textures mapped to your models.  There are no external files to manage, and aside from the Designer add-in there's no need for additional software, so sharing your vision in 3D is easy.

Streamlined Workflow

Most competing products are little more than 3D viewers that don’t include editing tools, and only support a limited range of file types using external file converters. ThreeDify Office Designer supports virtually every popular 3D file format, allowing you to work with a wide range of 3D modeling and CAD creation tools in your choice of file format: you can simply import your model from inside the Office Designer instance in your Office document.  This makes it easy to incorporate Office Designer in your current workflow.

But where ThreeDify Office Designer really shines is its broad range of 3D editing tools that allow you to edit and transform 3D models and designs from right inside your document – so you don’t have to switch tools and re-import models every time you want to make a change.

Support For Microsoft Office Live® Communication Server

ThreeDify Office Designer includes support for Office Live Communication Server – so small office and home office users can collaborate in 3D.  With Office Designer you can edit, iterate, and shape designs collaboratively and save directly to Office Live from inside Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Scripting Support

ThreeDify Office Designer also includes Visual Basic scripting support, so power users can leverage the power of Visual Basic for Applications to create presentations, link to data sources, or automatically update designs.

Office Designer Includes the Designer Standalone

When you purchase ThreeDify Office Designer, you also get the ThreeDify Designer standalone program and ActiveX control, so you only need to buy one product to have all of the functionality of both.

I recently downloaded your programs, (ThreeDify Grapher and ThreeDify Office Designer), and I have been evaluating the downloads over the weekend. Your products are absolutely brilliant! This is exactly what I have been looking for to use with Excel.
