- Rotate and explode 3D models. Ghost, hide and highlight individual parts and apply a wide range of graphic effects to models for illustration.
- Access and work with file metadata to create automatic annotations and bill of materials tables.

Manipulate, visualize, repeat
In Canvas X3 visualizations of 3D CAD objects can be edited and re-edited as many times as you need, without you having to request new source files. X3 imports all the data you need to create compelling, custom illustrations of models for a raft of 2D assets.

Communicate precisely
