3D Model

The Paste Link... command allows you to paste links to 3D models in Model and Assembly styles in the following formats:

3ds Max 3DS (*.3ds),
LightWave (*.lwo),
StereoLithography (*.stl),
Wavefront object (*.obj),
COLLADA (*.dae),
Autodesk FBX (*.fbx),
C3D (*.c3d),
STEP (*.stp, *.step),
IGES (*.igs, *.iges),
Parasolid (*.x_t, *.x_b),
AСIS (*.sat), JT (*.jt),
VRML (*.wrl).

To paste a 3D-model link:

In the 3D View, Assembly style or Level tab on the Primary panel, select the Paste – Paste link...
Select a file and click Open.

Set 3D Model parameters:

	3D Model position relative to axis. Each option on the drop-down list shows how the 3D Model will be located relative to the insertion point. If Default is selected, the 3D model is positioned relative to the insertion point as it is relative to the origin in the source file.
	3D Model horizontal offset. X axis offset relative to insertion point of 3D Model. Can be negative.
	3D Model vertical offset. Y axis offset relative to insertion point of 3D Model. Can be negative.
	Link name. Displays the link name defined in Links editor.
	3D Model orientation. The initial orientation of a 3D Model depends on the tool in which it was created.
	Scale.
	Precession.
	Nutation.
	Spin angle.
	Level. Determines the 3D Model level.
	Vertical offset. Determines the vertical offset of the 3D Model relatively to the insertion point.

Specify the insertion point.

The parameters may be modified both in the construction and editing process. Press Enter to fix the parameter values.

All the snaps and accurate construction are available when working with 3D model. In order to modify, copy or move a 3D Model, select it by the Select tool.

3D models in 3ds Max, LightWave, StereoLithotraphy, OBJ, COLLADA, FBX, and VRML formats are displayed only as bounding boxes on the level.

3D models in C3D, STEP, IGES, Parasolid and ACIS formats are solid and their projections or sections are displayed on the level.

The display of a 3D model in JT format depends on the information written to the file.

All 3D Models that are added into the project are displayed in the Links editor. To manage links, use Manage styles – Links on the Primary panel.

To import a 3D Model into Renga, use the Insert From... command.
