=======================

HOOPS Visualize is a 3D application SDK especially created for the engineering industry. Using HOOPS Visualize as a foundation, you can build your application without worrying about implementing your own a 3D framework or the details of loading models. 3DF refers to our legacy API, which is still supported. New customers should consider our modern HPS API.

.. only:: standard

	HOOPS Visualize is also interoperable with our model loading toolkit, HOOPS Exchange, as well as our 3D PDF writer, HOOPS Publish.

In this document, we provide tutorials, sample code, API documentation, and a written guide. Direct engineering support to get your application running and shipping quickly is also available.

If you are new to HOOPS Visualize, we recommend reading the Technical Overview for a taste of our product's capabilities. When you are ready to begin using the API, the Programming Guide is a good place to start.  

HOOPS Visualize 3DF API works with C++, and is supported on Windows, Mac, Linux, and mobile devices (see our Supported Platforms page for details).
