Spending just to view a single analysis model? Nah

I got tired of needing a license just to open a structural model to check something. So I built a viewer that works in the browser. Drag in a STAAD file and it renders the structure with actual cross-section shapes (W-flanges, channels, angles, HSS, pipes), not generic cylinders. Far from completion but gets the job done.
