INTERGRAPH INTRODUCES PRODUCT MODEL REVIEW FOR WINDOWS NT SYSTEMS

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., August 4, 1995 -- Intergraph Corporation (Huntsville,
Ala.) announced today that Product Model Review (PMR) is now available for
Microsoft's Windows NT operating system. PMR is built on Intergraph's
DesignReview software, supporting simultaneous, remote, 3D walk-through
sessions. Users at separate locations can conduct concurrent design
walk-throughs of 3D models of ships, aircraft or industrial environments
in a virtual environment, across a network. PMR's unique architecture
requires nominal network bandwidth (only several hundred bytes), so
performance is limited only by the local personal workstation. Driver
control can be passed from one site to another during the session, and
convenient access to model data is provided through a point and click
interface.

For shipbuilders, PMR is a powerful design tool for reviewing 3D ship
models created using Intergraph's Integrated Ship Design and Production
(ISDP) suite of software. Since it is built on DesignReview, PMR also
serves as an effective concurrent visualization tool for plant design and
architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) applications. Intergraph
can tailor the interface to the specific needs of each site, providing
access to external databases and electronic documents such as ASCII or
raster files. When the user selects an object for which an attribute-data
linkage has been defined, external data can be retrieved. In addition, PMR
supports redlining for raster documents that are retrieved during the
review session.

George M. Heeschen, Intergraph's Executive Manager for Integrated Ship
Design and Production, commented, "PMR has generated substantial interest
in the plant design community, and should become even more popular now
that it's available for Windows NT systems. One of the most practical
benefits of the concurrent review process is that users at each location
have direct graphical access to the model and associated data, enabling
them to retrieve information or redline raster files. These redlines can
be stored in a central database for later review. "
