To allow users to better study the reconstructions, we are also making the original WinSurf files available together with a WinSurf Viewer. This viewer enables users to open WinSurf (.xdf) data files and view the models with all the display options of the full reconstruction program. Models can be rotated about all three orthogonal axes, users can zoom in and out when viewing models and models can be translated. Also, the color and opacity of different objects in the models can be varied. Click here for help on using the WinSurf Viewer.
