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 | This toggle will prevent the module from running when turned to the Off position. |
| Filename | String | The file containing the triangulated geometry. |
| Execute | Button | This button will allow the module to run one time even if the Allow Run toggle is turned to the off position. This allows the user to make multiple changes with only one update. |
| Use Application Origin | Boolean | When true, the module will apply the Application Origin. When false, coordinates will be left in internal model space. |
Transform Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Transform List | Transform Fields | The list of transformations applied to the input field. This allows you to add any number of Translation, Scale, or Rotation transformations in order to place your geometry in the same coordinate space as the rest of your model. |
