Transient Static Links

Permanent links are another facet of the documentation purpose. A user can browse a model to a point where he potentially finds a bug. In order to supplement the bug report a PermaLink can be retrieved that holds the current viewport and expansion status of the user. The link can be attached to the report and upon opening the link, the diagram is opened as specified by the link.

http://[SERVER]/[MODEL_PATH]?perma=[EXPANSION]&transform=[VIEWPORT_MATRIX]

Collaboration

Rooms serve as a basis for collaboratively browsing a model. Users can join a common room in which all browsing activity, i.e., zooming, panning, expanding, is synchronized. One user can explain the model to another, or ask questions about certain details.
