Opening a file is as simple as dragging or selecting a file to open.

Once the file has been opened, you have some basic navigation and query tools.

The one feature that I think makes this viewer stand out of the collaboration functionality. It allows multiple users to view a model simultaneously as well providing a chat window. A link to share the models can be sent via email.
