Model comparison

The licensed version of eBrowser allows you to load two models and compare them to each other. eBrowser can detect all differences between the two models: moved equipment or other components; rerouted pipes, ducting lines, or cable trays; changes in dimensions, the geometric model, specifications, or component attributes. eBrowser generates a list of such differences, indicates the type of change, and highlights the changes in the 3D view. This facilitates the visualization of different design solutions and simplifies the evaluation of model changes at different review stages.

The functionality has many uses. The user can compare two models from the same project, from different project phases. It is also easy to compare projects that have the same ancestor (base project), such as sister ships, alternative designs, and similar FMTs. The general overview of the differences between the projects can be used to estimate the resources required for renovations of ships or for building similar vessels. In all usage scenarios the functionality facilitates discussing and reviewing different possibilities and making decisions about further steps.
