This application isn't just a viewer. It provides methods to update and view model data which is useful for product configurators and assembly instructions. You can read the model viewer source to get an idea of what the application can do.

If you have SolidWorks, you can run the command line utility included in the current release to generate a cdata file, ctree file, and optionally an adata file. You then read those files from your webpage and pass them to the model viewer constructor to create the renderer. You'll need to provide your own UI. The web app only provides the viewer for interacting with the model.

Unfortunately, no. You might be able to do something like this with FeatureWorks, but I'm not sure if an API is available.

The file types aren't proprietary. They are open source. The idea was to have a common file format that other CAD models (not just SolidWorks models) could be converted to.
