xD Viewer |

xD Viewer makes part of the xD Virtual Builder Solution. It’s the manager’s tool.
Once the technical team has created the xD model, managers and other team members can start the analysis and visualisations needed for decision-making and project streamlining.
It’s a very approachable all-in-one stand alone solution, including a professional gantt-chart application, critical path analysis, time-space conflict visualization, 2D/3D graphs, reporting tools, etc. The xD Viewer operates on an XML based process-model. |

Once an xD Model is ready, the xD Builder translates all project data, including xD model, visualisations, settings, filters, reports, … into one unique file for other team members to consult during project meetings, discussions or on site.
xD Viewer permits a fully interactive consulting, a try-out of different scenario’s and reporting.
Modifications and adaptations can be saved and processed into the central model
by the technical planning team.
The xD Viewer is fully adaptable to the user’s wishes. Lay-out, filters, visualisations and other settings can be stored for each user profile or as a project standard. The project view can contain up to 4 different visualisations on the xD model for visual an analytical comparison.
