When
usind IE “allow blocked contents“ might have to be checked (box
on page bottom) to enable loading of the models. Click models to
activate 3D-mode. Then you can interactively zoom, rotate etc. with
tools from the 3D tool bar. The easiest way to change transparencies
etc. is to use prefabricated views (pull down menu from 3D tool bar).
