Flexijet Viewer is a free viewing program for measurements and photos collected with Flexijet 3D Next Generation measuring system and packaged for Flexijet Viewer using FlexiCAD 3.1 and later.

Download the latest version of Flexijet Viewer for Windows here, or find Flexijet Viewer in the Mac App Store.

It offers the ability to view measurement drawings with all included photos and measurement point images. Furthermore, additional data can be added to the project file when preparing it in Flexijet Stone/FlexiCAD.

For example, you can include a DXF export of the measurement file, additional site photos and descriptions, a design plan, or quotation in any file format. One .Flexijet file can be handed over to colleagues or customers for viewing and approval in Flexijet Viewer.

*A Flexijet File must first be ‘Prepared for Flexijet Viewer’ in FlexiCAD/Flexijet Stone version 3.1 or later before it can be opened by Flexijet Viewer on its own.
