Our customers said:

"The graphical representation of complex bridges can contain tens of millions of triangles and the parametric definition of the bridge requires user-friendly graphical input. We were looking for compatible and efficient graphical engine which can be integrated in our WPF based application. Our choice was Ab3d.PowerToys, which is an excellent starting point when simple graphics should be represented with small development effort. With the growing complexity of Allplan Bridge and constantly increasing requirements we have turned to Ab3d.DXEngine, which is more complex, but perfect layer between PowerToys and DirectX. It matches our requirements perfectly. One example are SubMeshes, which significantly improved rendering time of the animation of bridge construction phases. The AB4D support has been excellent over the last 6 years, and we very much appreciate the cooperation with AB4D."

Jörg Sello, Head of Bridge Development, ALLPLAN Software Engineering GmbH


"The Ab3d.PowerToys have made using cameras and mouse control a snap. With Ab3d.DXEngine the increase in speed has been amazing.
I am just getting started learning about the capabilities of the software, but already the progress has been significant. Being able to do this using C# and WPF is great."

LaDon Jones, Ingios Geotechnics, Inc.


"I have really enjoyed using your product, I am fairly new to programming and WPF and you have made it easier to create really complicated user interfaces ..."
