Lumis 3D offers customized viewers for exploring digital aspect mockups of 3D models.
Digital Aspect Mockups
Digital Aspect Mockups (DAMs) are 3D models that include detailed information about the final, realistic appearance of the finished model. They also feature interactive elements such as animation and customizable parts.
Digital aspect mockups may be uploaded in the KDR format, this format supports the digital aspect mockup produced in Patchwork 3D (any Enterprise Edition and from Community 2022 Edition).
Digital Aspect Mockup Explorer
You can view digital aspect mockups in KDR, P3D, and LSD formats if they are present in the current space. To view one of these files, double-click on the item you would like to view.
When viewing KDRs, you have an overview of all of the options included in the digital aspect mockups.
The name of the file appears in the upper left corner.

The Layout section is closely linked to the Mode section. Three different modes are available only when the view is split. The Side by side mode displays a view comparison, Detail mode displays a model close-up into a new pane and Juxtapose mode displays a view comparison slider.The Synchronisation section synchronizes the camera position (
View) and the model's product (
Product) in all panes.The Fit section sets the appropriate image size in three different formats. Contain displays the viewing area with its original size (adds black borders). Cover fills pane with the viewing area (no black border added). Fill adjusts the viewing area to the pane size (zoom in/out).
Active viewport part:
Image: In an image, the camera is stationary. The viewer provides a picture of the digital aspect mockup from a preset perspective that cannot be modified in real time.
VR Object: The digital aspect mockup can be turned interactively 360 degrees by clicking and dragging with the mouse. The initial position is taken from the Patchwork 3D camera position. This is the default mode.
VR Cube: Cubes are typically used to position the viewpoint inside the digital aspect mockup. The camera position is stationary, but the camera can be turned in any direction in real time to observe the interior space, such as the inside of a vehicle or a room, from all angles. Click and drag the mouse to change the direction. The initial position and orientation are taken from the camera information.You also can enlarge the active pane to cover the full viewing area (Maximize
). When enlarged, click on again to return to the multi-pane view.
The 
button displays or hides a summary of the current view and configuration used for the model. It lists the model shown, the camera used, and all active configuration options.
The 
button downloads a JPG or PDF version of the image currently displayed in the viewer's active pane. This file will be saved to your computer or device.
The
Snapshot Image tool saves the image displayed in the viewer's active pane. You can choose the space and the folder in your Lumis 3D account where the image will be saved.If your KDR contains timelines or animations, the
Video button will open the Snapshot Video editor to produce a video of the animation.

button shares your model (DAM) link. Anyone in the domain with access to this page can share this link too. (Sign-in is required).
