Scene2Model Extensions ​

The functionality of the Scene2Model tool can be enhanced by installing extensions through the Extension Manager.

Extensions are continuously added and therefore the list blow may be not up-to-date, but should provide examples for what extensions can be made. The list consists of links to more detailed descriptions.

If you manually added functionality using the ADOxx Auto Start, these items will also be shown in the extensions manger.
