import geometry
The import geometry module will read STL, PLY, OBJ and .G files containing object geometries.
This module provides the user with the capability to integrate site plans, topography, buildings, and other 3D features into the EVS visualizations.
Info
This module intentionally does not have a Z-Scale port since this class of files are so often not in a user’s model projected coordinate system. Instead a Transform Settings group is provided that allows for a much more complex set of transformations including scaling, translations and rotations.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output | Output Field | Field | The main output field of the triangulated model. |
| Output | Output Object | Renderable | A renderable object displaying the triangulated model. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | When deselected, prevents the module from running. |
| Filename | String | The file containing the triangulated geometry. |
| Execute | Button | Allows the module to run one time even if the Allow Run toggle is off. This allows multiple changes to be made with only one update. |
| Use Application Origin | Boolean | When true, the module applies the Application Origin. When false, coordinates are left in internal model space. |
Transform Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Transform List | Transform Fields | The list of transformations applied to the input field. Allows any number of Translation, Scale, or Rotation transformations to place the geometry in the same coordinate space as the rest of the model. |
