Overview

The purpose of our app is to present our 3D interactive models and make it easy for you to interact with, and examine them. To view a model you need to be able to select it. The app provides 3 ways to do this: Scan a QR Code; Find Model in a list; and select a previously viewed from Model History. The rest of the app is there to support and enhance these functions.

The model corresponding to the code scanned will load into the Model View.

If the QR Code you scan is NOT a Working Spec QR Code an error box will be displayed. Clear the error box and scan a valid Working Spec QR Code.

Find Model

Another method to find the Working Spec model you want to View is to select it from a list of all our models. The models shown can be filtered by Company, Brand and Product.

Models are displayed in a grid. Tap the model to View.

Model Filters

Find Model has a set of filters to make it easier for you to find the model you want to view. Each model describes a detail, which is part of a Product, which belongs to a Brand, which is owned by a Company.
The filters allow you to restrict the models displayed to any Company/Brand/Product.
