When the Auto generate WebGL viewer files option is selected in the system options, auto conversion becomes part of the Data Validator document loading process, causing load jobs to take more time.

How can I configure WebGL viewer files (.vecz) generation only for navigation file of 2D drawing files?

We recommend the following configuration particularly when regenerating the WebGL files for the navigation file (.igr) that are generated while extracting content from the Hexagon 2D file.

To generate a WebGL viewer file (.vecz) only for the attached navigation file (.igr), add a condition to the SPFFileTypeFileType relationship definition on the Hexagon 2D file type by completing the following steps:

  1. In the Desktop Client, click Find > Administration > File Type to open a list of all defined file type objects.

  2. Right-click on any required 2D drawing file type object, and click Edit Relationships.

  3. From the Related Objects column in the Edit Relationships for [Hexagon 2D file type] file window, select the .vecz file type object and click Maintain Attributes to update the object properties.

  4. In the Update window, select the condition IsFileHavingNavigationFile from the list of Alternate Rendition conditions in the Alternate rendition information details section.

    • If the IsFileHavingNavigationFile condition is enabled and no navigation file (.igr) is attached to a Hexagon 2D file, no WebGL viewer files are created.

    • The IsFileHavingNavigationFile condition is only applicable to Hexagon 2D file types with attached navigation files.

Automatically generate 2D WebGL viewer files

  1. In the Desktop Client, click Find > Administration > File Type to open a list of all defined file type objects.

  2. Drag the 2D drawing (.igr, .pid, .sma, .spe, .sha, and .zyq) file type objects to the 2D WebGL viewer file (.vecz) file type object to create a SPFFileTypeFileType relationship definition.

  3. Select the Auto generate WebGL viewer files option in the system options.

    To learn more about this and other options, see Configure the system options.

Automatically generate 3D WebGL viewer files

If an XML file with the same name as a non-published Smart 3D model file is attached to a design document, a label database file (.mdb2) is automatically generated in addition to the 3D WebGL viewer file (.binz). The label database file (.mdb2) is required for searching tags in a non-published Smart 3D model file using the Web Client. The Show hidden files option in the Change User Preferences dialog box must be selected to show label database files in the Desktop Client.

  1. In the Desktop Client, click Find > Administration > File Type to open a list of all defined file type objects.

  2. Drag the Smart 3D (.zvf and .vue) file type objects to the 3D WebGL viewer file (.binz) file type object to create a SPFFileTypeFileType relationship definition.

  3. Select the Auto generate WebGL viewer files option in the system options.

    To learn more about this and other options, see Configure the system options.
