Apps that can be used together with FingerCAD HD, FingerCAD WS, FingerCAD:
- Finger3D HD and Finger3D: build a 2D/3D models with FingerCAD and use Finger3D to model it in a 3D world (You can create for example doors and windows, You can color the walls, add people, add textures, create 3D shapes, render Your 3D model using a light source, etc...) and explore the 3D WORLD by walking in it like in the real world (walk and see in all the directions).

FingerCAD: "2D design" |
FingerCAD: "3D viewer" |
Finger3D: "EDIT ON" mode |
Finger3D: "TEXTURED design" |
|
STEP 1 : draw Your 2D/3D model using more than one layer and different heights for each layer |
STEP 2 : explore the current 2D/3D CAD design and export it to Finger3D |
STEP 3 : apply furnitures, textures, modify it in a 3D WORLD, etc... |
STEP 4 : explore the 3D design by walking in the 3D WORLD (first person view) and render of what You are seeing to obtain high-quality images -> textured .jpg and/or .png images (orthographic or perspective projections) |
- AR Models Manager: display the FingerCAD and Finger3D OBJ3D models using Augmented Reality: You can walk with your legs inside the model created with FingerCAD and Finger3D and observe the 3D model in high details and in all directions, as if the model really exists.
- VR Models Manager: display the FingerCAD and Finger3D OBJ3D models using Virtual Reality (3D Visor): You can move inside the model created with FingerCAD and Finger3D and observe the 3D model in high details and in all directions, like 3D Cinema.
- FingerGIS: record the sites, lands, streets, etc... using the GPS (global positioning system) or draw them on a GIS WORLD MAP (Apple maps or Google maps - 3D geopoints recording), export all to FingerCAD and use it in Your 2D and/or 3D CAD projects ( video demo: FingerGIS app preview ).
- pdfManager HD and pdfManager: open pdf files, extract an image from the pdf, use the extracted image as FingerCAD background, draw over it or take notes (CAD design, text, freehands).
- unzip + zip & send : zip Your CAD projects, documents, images, video, music and send them to Your friends. Unzip the received zip archives, store the extracted files in the memory of Your portable device and visualize / listen all using the internal visualizer.
