o2c is an acronym for Objects to See, a three-dimensional file format that is optimized for Internet-based communication. o2c Interactive allows you to edit materials and textures, batch process photorealistic images, and Publish to the Web as an HTML file for presentation. Unique to o2c Interactive is the ability to save and recall multiple schemes so you and your clients can visualize various material finishes.
You can send o2c files to your clients as e-mail attachments or embedded them into Word, PowerPoint, or HTML documents. DataCAD LT 10 and DataCAD 10 export 3D models directly to o2c format. Users of any CADD program can convert either 3D DXF or DWG files to o2c format via DataCAD LT or DataCAD. A freely-distributable version of o2c Interactive, o2c_2Go!, allows clients to view presentations and walk through rendered models.
Customers refer to o2c files as 3D PDFs. because of the ease and speed with which detailed 3D information can be shared via the Internet. o2c Interactive helps you to develop a truly two-way communication by allowing you to create slide shows and explore multiple scenarios on the fly with your clients. Armed with this tool, you can enhance both your productivity and clients satisfaction by getting feedback earlier in the design cycle and by giving your customers a greater choice of design options.
Customer Comments on o2c Interactive
DataCAD's built-in o2c abilities are fantastic. It's so simple now to complete a model, dial in the color and material assignments on the fly, give a 3D presentation, and actually hand it over to the client on a disk. Its quick, simple, and easy for the client to interact with. I love the big grin on my clients face and the urgency with which he or she suddenly wants to leave my office to try it out at home. Its convenient to be able to make any further adjustments and simply e-mail the updated model to the client while he or she is talking to me on the phone. Wow!

o2c Interactive works great as an object viewer and makes client feedback more immediate and meaningful. The client picks up on it pretty quickly. Its like a 3D PDF!
