Review and change transformations in Smart 3D - Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher - Help

When you define the transformation properties in Smart Interop Publisher for Smart Models, you can open the session file containing the attached Smart Model, check the transformation settings, and modify the transformation settings.

The steps below outline the basic workflow in using Smart 3D to review Smart Models as Reference 3D data. For more detailed information about working with attached Reference 3D model data, see Attach external 3D data to the model in the Smart 3D Project Management Help.

Review Transformation Settings

You need to have Smart 3D installed on the same machine as Smart Interop Publisher.

1. Select the project containing the Smart Models to attach in Smart 3D.

2. From the Models View, select the Smart Model, and set up your transformation settings.

   See Transform a Smart Model.

3. Attach the generated .zvf Smart Model project file as a Reference 3D model in Smart 3D.

   See Attach and review in Smart 3D

4. Open the session file in Smart 3D containing the attached Smart Model, and look at the positioning of the Smart Model. Use the Reference 3D filter property to see just the attached Smart Model.

Change Transformation Settings

You can make changes to the Smart Model transformation settings in Smart 3D. Your edits are reflected back in Smart Interop Publisher, and in Smart Review if you are looking at the same Smart Model.

1. From Project Management, select the Smart Model (Reference 3D model) to modify in the tree view.

2. Click Database > New > Reference 3D Model Command to open the New Reference 3D Model Dialog. If the model currently has a R3D referenced object attached, you can also right-click the Reference 3D Models root in the Project Management tree, and then click New Reference 3D Model in the shortcut menu.

3. Modify the transformation settings.

   

4. Check the Reference 3D Model data has been updated... (files added, removed, or modified) option.

5. Click OK. The software rescans all subfolders listed in the path; then, it updates individual .vue files within the File Path.

6. Reopen the session file containing your Smart Model to see the changes.

   If you are also using Smart Review to look at the same Smart Model, your changes are shown there as well. To see the edits, you may need to close each application and then re-open them. See Review and change transformations in Smart Review.
