“When our partners are developing new applications or enhancing an existing product, being able to access and publish CAD data, regardless of format, is paramount to streamlining these workflows,” said Lionel Vieilly, Product Manager at Tech Soft 3D. “The CAD translation and publishing capabilities provided by both HOOPS Exchange and HOOPS Publish support these workflows across multiple industries like no other SDKs on the market. The continued improvements we make every year demonstrate our commitment to ensuring our partners have access to the #1 CAD data translation library on the market, and that will never stop.”

New and Improved CAD File Support

HOOPS Exchange 2024 adds support for Navisworks, a 3D design review product from Autodesk, and C#, one of the most popular and stable programming languages on the market, as well as enhanced support for Parasolid, Solid Edge, NX, and Revit. This ensures that developers can work with nearly every popular CAD file format.

In addition, support for reading CATIA V5 publications allows developers to access publication information in CATIA V5 files, providing valuable insights into references for various entities such as geometry, topology, features, attributes, and annotations.

HOOPS Exchange 2024 also includes support for assembly geometry redefinitions in Solid Edge and can now import design operations defined at the assembly level, ensuring a higher level of model fidelity. This enhancement includes support for assembly-level features such as cutouts, revolved cutouts, holes, rounds, chamfers, frame components, pipes, adjustable components, and weldments.

These enhancements provide developers with a more powerful and versatile API, enabling them to work with complex assembly geometries with ease.

Performance Enhancements

HOOPS Exchange 2024 introduces a more intuitive and efficient way to navigate model files. A new API now offers a set of functions designed for seamless traversal. The newly introduced entities present an abstract representation of a model file, enhancing usability through a standardized tree structure and simplified access to tessellation.

HOOPS Publish 2024 features a new API to add a resource to the 3D Artwork so that it can be consumed by 3D javascript to dynamically add geometry in a 3D model.

Finally, HOOPS Exchange 2024 features IFC reader improvements, meeting market expectations in performance, speed, and quality.
