• Set Up - Setting up a workspace is all done through your browser in minutes.
• Invite - The workspace share invites and login instructions are sent out via email to all participants.
• Upload - Participants can easily upload relevant documentation, pictures, video, CAD diagrams and models into the workspace.
• Convert - 2D & 3D assets are converted online in the workspace into live web visuals that don't require any special software or training to view.
• Annotation - 2D & 3D CAD assets can be easily annotated and the notes shared with workgroup members.
• Email - Members are notified of the workspace events of interest to them like viewing, uploading, downloading and new notes.
• Backup - All workspace project files can easily be backed by ZIP files download or automatic transfer to an FTP service of your choice.
• Security - Live Web uses the same HTTPS protocols you use for online banking to keep logins and transactions secure.

By quickly aggregating the project details and CAD files into the workspace you can help your project stakeholders see whats going on, in a simple browser based environment they can access 24x7, from anywhere they are.
