 +Discover the 3DM Viewer SDK. 
 + 
 +The Orbit 3DM Viewer SDK provides the tools to build a plugin to connect a 3rd party host application and the Orbit 3DM Viewer. It is a two-way connection enabling synchronize, augment, enrich and integrate the 3DM Viewer and host application.  
 + 
 +===== Key Features ===== 
 + 
 +=== Synchronize views === 
 + 
 +Focus the Viewer to a location the user picked in the 3rd party application. This is also possible the other way around. 
 + 
 +=== Augment the data in your 3rd party application === 
 + 
 +Overlay vector data representing the 3D data in the 3rd party application. These vector data are the photo positions of a run, the bounding box of the run, the location and orientation of the images that are opened, and even the current measurement of the Viewer.  
 + 
 +=== Enrich existing external datasets === 
 + 
 +Next to visualizing measurements from the Viewer inside the 3rd party application, it’s also possible to save these as features in an external dataset opened in the 3rd party application. 
 + 
 +=== Integrate external data in the Viewer === 
 + 
 +Data features opened in the 3rd party application can be added to the Viewer as a separate resource, using the SDK.  
 + 
 +=== Easy to run environment === 
 + 
 +The Viewer is opened in a tab in the user's browser. Apart from an up-to-date browser and the conditions to run the 3rd party application, there's no need for special requirements to use a plugin made with the SDK. 
 + 
 +There is one SDK reference that can be implemented on multiple platforms. Different implementations are available. At the moment we have an SDK for JavaScript, .NET, and Python. 
 + 
 +===== What's in the API ===== 
 + 
 +The API has everything you need to : 
 +  * Visualize resource footprints (where is data available?) 
 +  * Visualize field-of-views (where are the views?) 
 +  * Visualize measurements 
 +  * Use measurements (add them to your own layers for example) 
 +  * Integrate with Viewer zoom-to-extent  
 +  * Integrate with Viewer position picking  
 +  * Open a View at a location 
 +  * Focus all Views on a location 
 +  * Add your own objects to the Viewer
