The Spider Viewer 2021 is now an early stage work-in-progress.

  • Mix and match OSM, RAD, HBJSON and gbXML files in the same scene
  • Load multiple files via URL, file dialog or drag & drop
  • Drag and drop models in the scene to new locations
  • Decompress and load models from ZIP files automatically
  • Explore dozens of sample files
  • View renderer statistics and frames per seconds
  • Right-click surfaces to view their details in a pop-up

Instead of multiple viewers each supporting a single file format, it's now one viewer that reads any number of formats. There are more features on the way:

  • Faster drawing algorithms. For example. try loading this 21MB model 62K triangles of geometry: urban_district.hbjson. It takes a while lo load, but once it's up: click the reload button. Right-click on and notice the pop-up appears without delay. Over the next few weeks the new algorithms will be refactored into all file format loaders
  • More file formats to be added. Anybody want IFC or EPW or Design Explorer support?
  • Better user experience in moving, viewing and editing the data
  • Of course many - if not all - the features you have enjoyed from previous releases will be added.

As always with the Spider scripts, 

  • you don't have to change your ways! All the previous releases will continue to be available. Choose to work the way you want.
  • The code is so simple and easy to tweak it even runs is Discourse!

And - as is so often the case with open source apps:

  • No feedback from users means programmers get bored and work on other projects
  • Lots of feedback makes for lots of coding. ;-)

So let's talk about making this the best Spider Viewer!
