Placing a 3D Model

You can place 3D Models of any of the supported 3D file formats in your document.

To Place a 3D Model

  1. Create a new document or open an existing EVDOC document.

  2. Do one of the following:

  • Click 3D Model from the Place & Draw panel of Home tab of the Ribbon.

  • Click 3D Model from the Items panel of Insert tab of the Ribbon.

  1. In the Insert dialog box navigate to a location of the 3D model file that you want to place.

  2. Select a 3D model file that you want to open.

  3. Select the Show import options checkbox if you want to set the Import Options.

  4. Click Insert.

The selected 3D Model will be placed in the specified size that is set in the Import Options dialog box on the current layer of the current page. The 3D Model objects that are placed in the document can be: resized, repositioned, copied & pasted like any other objects.

When you placed 3D Models on your document, they will be listed in the 3D Model drop-down list for a quick access.

 

 

 

Import Options

When you select the Show import options checkbox in the Insert dialog box, the Import Options dialog box is displayed.

Options

Description

Tessellation Quality

Set the quality of tessellation from Extra High, High, Medium, Low, or Extra Low based on your system configuration. The higher the tessellation quality is, the slower the application performance will be. The overall performance will also depend on the file size and complexity of 3D Models.

Use geometry (BREP)
if available

When this option is selected, if BREP (boundary representation) exists in the 3D Model file, it will be used. Otherwise, tessellation will be used.

When this option is selected, tessellation will be used regardless of BREP.

Make 3D Model fit to page

Set how the 3D Model is placed on the current page. When this option is selected, the 3D Model will be scaled to the page bounds. When this option is not selected, you can specify the width and height of the 3D Model object.

 

When the Use geometry (BREP) if available checkbox is selected, and BREP is actually used, loading time may increase significantly depending on the file size and complexity of 3D Models.
