Guideline 4.0 is built on Bly 3D Viewer technology and shares its geometrical kernel and user interface: on this backbone, we added clamping functionalities.

This means that, when the software is launched, it starts in "viewing" mode, allowing the user to benefit from Bly functionalities.

Supported file format


3D models can also be opened by drag&drop them on Guideline 4.0 desktop icon or in the graphic area

In the upper-left corner of the window, a golden icon and a label is displaied to identify which mode (either Bly or Guideline 4.0) is activated:
