3D preview: seeing the bent profile before ordering it
A customer who has seen the part in volume orders the right part. That is the whole point of this view, and it is already a lot.
The profile is rebuilt in three dimensions from the segments and angles, in the colour actually chosen, and turns with the mouse or a finger. Edge highlights mark the corners, labels tell front from back, and the holes appear in position.
The words “indicative, not contractual” are shown permanently, and that is deliberate. The render exists to be understood, not measured: the flat view and the DXF are what govern. A preview presented as a drawing would end up used as a drawing.
Where it pays most is Z profiles and parts with a return. A customer very easily gets the direction of a bend wrong when all they see is a section: they picture the return going up when they wanted it down. On a fifteen-metre coping delivered upside down, the discovery happens on site.
The visible face is chosen explicitly, and the volume shows it. Coating the wrong face of a cladding part means a complete redo, powder coating included.
What it changes
Bend direction becomes obvious
It is the most frequent and most expensive mistake, and a volume makes it visible in one second.
The coated face is visible
Front or back, the customer decides by looking instead of imagining.
Indicative, and said to be
The dimension governs on the flat view and in the DXF, never on the render.
