User reviews

Impressive. The 3D isn't rendered on the map per se. You only catch and preview a part of it when refreshing the tool's popup. You have then to use a viewer. I used the suggested one and maybe my pc doesn't have the resources to render it, as it became graphic-heavy. Still giving 5 starts as it's the first review.
