Scenes created in SimLab Composer can be shared with others in different formats that preserve models security.
Import / Export
Open the corresponding Import/Export Geometry dialog. The import function enables the user to build scenes of 3D models from different file formats, the export function, on the other hand, enables the user to share the created 3D scenes with others in different formats.
In the Import Geometry dialog, the user can browse to 3D geometry to import . Clicking Open displays the Import File dialog, where the user can set different options for 3D import. General Settings include Up vector; Z axis is selected by default. The user can choose a different access depending on the design of the imported 3D geometry.
Place in view, places the import geometry in the current view, rather than the center of the scene. Keep dynamic link, when checked keeps 3D geometry linked and automatically updates to any changes in the home CAD application.
Zoom to imported model, imports the object to the center of the scene and zooms the camera to it.
Import Measurement and annotations, will import these elements with the 3D geometry.
The Import File dialog will have more elements depending on the imported file format. The image on the left below, is for 3D PDF file import, while the one on the right is for DWG file import.
Export function will open the Export Geometry dialog, and will enable the user to export the 3D model to any of the supported file formats. For a list of supported Import/Export file formats, visit this page.
Lights Value Calibration
When the user attempts to import Old, Light containing files, not from the library, the dialog below will appear. It can be used for fixing old SimLlab files to go with the new light changes, according to the scene output selected.
