[X3D-Public] AD Working Group meeting minutes: CAD viewer review, Web3D 2014 Workshop preparations

[Don Brutzman]

Attendees: Hyokwang Lee, Vince Marchetti, Dick Puk, Don Brutzman.

We first examined the following wonderful model/tool in detail.  There is a banner image linking it on the front of the new web3d home page.  It has much of the capability of a regular tool.

We are hoping that someone from Fraunhofer might be willing to demonstrate this model and field questions during the Web3D Workshop on BIM/AEC/AM/CAD Initiatives.

We copied the agenda for the workshop from the conference page into the wiki.  It is now available for continued preparation, and will be used to take minutes during the session.
