Compare Editions
Spatial Integration is available in two editions: Community and Professional.
Anyone using Spatial Integration for professional work is expected to subscribe to the Professional edition. The Community edition suits occasional 3D viewing of data, trialling Spatial Integration before subscribing, and viewing projects prepared with the Professional edition.
A project built with the Professional edition opens fully in the Community edition. Professional elements can be shown, hidden, faded and located, but not changed, so you can hand a project to a client who views it with a Community license. The one exception is streamed image sources: they are kept in the project when it is saved, but are not streamed or drawn.
The table below compares the editions. The Community: view column describes what the Community edition can do with an element that is already in a project, for example one prepared with the Professional edition.
Features marked (v3) are coming in Spatial Integration version 3.
