A group visualization system allowing users of a group, either at a local site or a remote site to view images personalized to each users specific needs. Each user of the team interactively selects personalize viewing parameters, such as portions of the model to be displayed and the angle to view the model. Each user may select an overlay map to be superimposed on the model and displayed in the same manner which the model is displayed. A user who is an electrical engineer may select a voltage overlay, which a mechanical engineer may select a stress/strain overlay of the same model. Each user may select the parameters specified by another user or users, either at the local site or a remote sites, to see what they are viewing. Each user has access to a pointer which allows each user to specify a location which a symbol is superimposed and is visible to selected users. This results in a tool allowing users of a group at various sites to act as a team interact with each other.
