Dear List Members,

Please apologize me for writing in English.

Can you indicate me the tool for converting VRML (or Catia Part file) into *.s3d format required by 3D module of eM-Plant?

My question concerns eM-Plant 7.5. The tool on the CD (Crossroads) doesn't have an option for converting into *.s3d.

Regards,

Jack (Poland)

there are several ways.

Probably the easiest way is to drag&drop the VRML2-file (extension *.wrl !) onto the eMPlant 3d-window and then to export it as *.s3d
-if still required (s. 3D-button/3D-export)

another way is to import the VRML2-file via eMPlant-3D-import-function (s. 3D-button/3D-import)

OK, but that way I export the whole 3D scene into *.s3d format. But I want to export only one *.wrl object into *.s3d one.

I want it to behave as the original 3D objects inherited (automatically inserted by eM-Plant in 3D scene based on 2D model) from existing 2D model, but I have many doubts if it is possible at all.

Regards,

Jack

there are several ways to "isolate" the 3d-geometry in eM-Plant.

first of all, it is important to know, that a defined 3d-object has a hierarchical structure !

The hierarchical structure can be displayed by moving the mousecursor onto the 3d-browser,pressing the right mouse-button and toggling (on/off)

If you step into the sublevels, only the sublevel geometry is displayed.

So you just have to create a new (3d-) object, step into the apropriate object-level and drag the wrl-file onto this level.

another possiblity:
if you´ve already dragged the geometry into your mainlayout, you can create a new 3d-eMplant-object by selecting the geometry, pressing the right mouse-button and creating a new viewerobject.
