ContextCapture User Guide

The web format

The 3MX format is the format dedicated to web publishing, but not only. The intended usage of 3MX is threefold:

  • Online distribution, by using our new ContextCapture Viewer.
  • Interoperability with other Bentley Systems products, such as MicroStation.
  • Interoperability with 3rd party applications (3D GIS).

Since web publishing is not the only possible use of a 3MX production, certain options not suited for web are made available at the production level. You should choose the most appropriate configuration for your purpose; see the next section for more details.

If you are interested in knowing more about 3MX, we refer you to the 3MX specification documentation in the document directory (3MX Specifications.pdf).
