Change Comparer
Fusion 360 add-in that lets the user visually compare the current state of the model to a previous one.
Getting Started
To use the add-in, click the following command
Usage
Once installed, the "Change Comparer" add-in will create a new button in the menu of the
"Model" workspace's "Inspect" panel.
When pressing this button, it does one of the below things:
- In its initial state the command's description is "Save Snapshot For Comparison", in which case you can take the first snapshot that later on you will compare to
- After the first snapshot has been taken the command's description will be "Compare To
Snapshot", in which case you can take a second snapshot that will be from exactly the same
angle and with the same zoom factor as the previous snapshot.
Once that's done a web page will be opened where you can switch between the two snapshots and can easily examine the visual differences between the two states of the model - see screenshots:

Installation and Uninstallation
You can unload the add-in without uninstalling it by clicking the
"Stop" button when the add-in is selected in the list box on the "Add-Ins"
tab of the "Scripts and Add-Ins" dialog.
Unchecking "Run on Startup" causes the add-in not to be loaded in future sessions of
Fusion 360.
