-====== Discover 3DM Viewer SDK ======
+====== Scope & Possibilities ======
-Discover the key features and possibilities of [[dev:products:viewer_sdk|Orbit 3DM Viewer SDK]].
+Discover the 3DM Viewer SDK.
-===== Key features =====
+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.
-**Synchronize views**\\
+===== Key Features =====
-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**\\
+=== Synchronize views ===
-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**\\
+Focus the Viewer to a location the user picked in the 3rd party application. This is also possible the other way around.
-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**\\
+=== Augment the data in your 3rd party application ===
-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 ===
-**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.
-===== Explore the possibilities  =====
+===== What's in the API =====
-Several plugins were made already with the SDK. Feel free to explore your possibilities with these examples:
-  - Download the plugins on [[https://orbitgt.com/products/3dm-plugins/|Orbit's website]].
-  - Read [[dev:products:3dm_plugins|the reference documentation]] on install and use of the plugins.
-  - Test them out with the use of our [[https://3dmapping.cloud/try-it-now|Try it Now]] publications
+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
