This quick guide shows the necessary configuration steps to bridge IronCAD into Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays, compatible to SteamVR or OpenXR, like: Meta Quest 1, 2 & 3, HTC Vive (Pro2),  Varjo, Pico and Windows Mixed Reality HMDs. The guide also applies for bridging IronCAD for Powerwalls, 3D stereo projectors, CAVE and DOME.

Guide to bridge IronCAD into Virtual Reality:

• Start the moreViz Launcher

• Notice the moreViz-Tray icon (next to system time) and right-click it, select “moreViz Application Enabler”

• Click “Locate known Apps”. The more3D application enabler will search the standard program files folders for known IronCAD installations and add them to the list.

• If your IronCAD is installed to a non standard directory, please click “Add”, locate the “IRONCAD.exe” file. The standard path is:
  “X:\Program Files\IronCAD\2025\bin\”

• Mark the Checkbox right next to the newly created entry to enable the VR Bridge for IronCAD.

• Close the Application Enabler.
• Start the moreViz Client.

• Start IronCAD.
• Open the IronCAD Settings.

• Choose “Rendering” in the left hand list and configure as follows:

• Apply the settings
• Load a any IronCAD file.
• The live-link between IronCAD and the VR environment is now active.

The daily workflow is as follows:

• Start the moreViz Launcher and moreViz Client
• (optional) Start SteamVR or the Link/Streaming software of your HMD
• Start IronCAD and load any 3D model.
• If you see any semi-transparent geometry in the wrong place in VR, then open the settings of IronCAD again, set the “Custom Transparency Option” from “Screendoor” to something else, click apply, then back to “Screendoor” and apply again.
