This is a great 3D ESRI shapefile (shp and shx) viewer. SHP is the native format for ArcGIS (ArcEdit, ArcView, etc.) and is supported by many other GIS applications. With help of this app, you can take your SHP files with you no matter where you are and view them with your tablet or laptop directly.

The app is specially designed for touch screen and Microsoft Modern Style User Interface. It supports both touch and mouse. It provides many 3D features including rotating model with finger movement, zooming in/out, panning, changing rendering color, changing rendering background color, etc. You can also use it to find out information about your file, for instance, the height, width and depth of your model, etc.

The app supports opening files located in SkyDrive or local drive. You can also use it to open 3D files that you received as email attachments. The app provides native support for .zip file. You can use it to open zipped 3D files in zip format directly without unzipping them first. You can choose to view 3D files individually, or select multiple 3D files and view them together. This could be very helpful when you want to compare different 3D assets.

When you open a shape file, please make sure you select both the .shp and .shx file, or zip all related files into a single .zip file and use the app to load .zip file directly.

The app is very powerful and super easy to use. It is fast and capable of loading huge models. It is a great tool for viewing, reviewing and collaborating on 3D assets.
