Viewdata measure for EnergyPlus output ?

The OpenStudio viewdata measure is useful for visualizing simulation results and architecture in 3D geometry. Is there any chance this measure could be applied also to EnergyPlus simulation output (instead of OpenStudio output) ? My simulation models typically start with OpenStudio but are finalized in EnergyPlus with additional features such as EMS programs. Without knowing the details of viewdata programming code I expect that the measure should not really depend on the software that is generating the output but rather on the output formats that are used. Hence, if EnergyPlus output is in compatible format (or can be converted into the required format) it should be possible to use the viewdata script also for EnergyPlus simulation results. What's the assessment of software developers ?
