KurusView

KurusView is a cross-platform visualisation tool for three-dimensional models.

Interaction with the models is supported through the following features:

• Open multiple models in the same or different windows.
• Move models freely around every axis.
• Modify and edit multiple models at once.
• Apply shrink and/or clip filters.
• Measure model dimensions along predefined or custom axis.
• Change model, background, and back-face colour independently.
• Change the structure of the model to a wireframe.
• View the individual points of the model.
• Apply 3D gridlines encapsulating any model.
• Calculation of model statistics such as:
  • Volume
  • Weight
  • Centre of Gravity
  • Number of Cells
  • Density
• Adjust lighting, model opacity and specularity.
• Save per-model view transformations (colours, position, etc) to proprietary .kurus files.

Light and dark modes are available and on Windows switching is automatic matching Windows app settings.
