Import Point-Attached External Model

Feature Description

supports batch importing models using point-attached model files. Each model corresponds to its own positioning information and model name selection fields. Supported model formats include *.osgb, *.s3m, *.s3mb, *.3ds, *.x, *.dxf, *.osg, *.obj, *.ifc, *.fbx, *.dae, *.stl, *.off, *.sgm, *.gltf, *.flt.

Feature Entry

  • Start tab -> Data Processing -> Data Import -> 3D -> Point-Attached External Model.
  • Toolbox -> Data Import -> Import Point-Attached External Model tool.
  • Workspace Manager -> Specify datasource context menu -> Import 3D Model -> Point-Attached External Model Import button.

Steps

  1. In the Data Processing group under Start tab, click the Point-Attached External Model from the Data Import dropdown button to open the Import Point-Attached External Model dialog.
  2. Source Data: Set source data path
    • Datasource: Select existing datasource from Workspace Manager dropdown list.
    • Dataset: Select point dataset from specified datasource dropdown list.
    • Association Field: Select field recording external model storage paths from dropdown list.
    • Model File Path: If no association field exists or the field only contains model names, use the right-side button to select local model folder.
  3. Parameters:
    • Matrix Field: Select matrix field from point dataset dropdown list. The matrix field stores model spatial transformation information. This parameter and Rotation Angle/Scale Factor are mutually exclusive - only set either Matrix Field or Rotation Angle with Scale Factor.
    • Separator: Set special character separating attribute values in matrix field. For example, setting as # means attribute value 1#2#3#4 will be parsed as combination of values 1, 2, 3, 4.
    • Rotation AngleX: Model rotation angle along X-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Rotation AngleY: Model rotation angle along Y-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Rotation AngleZ: Model rotation angle along Z-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Scale FactorX: Model scaling factor along X-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Scale FactorY: Model scaling factor along Y-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Scale FactorZ: Model scaling factor along Z-axis. Can be set by direct value input or selecting corresponding field from dropdown list.
    • Ignore Material Color: Determines whether to import material colors when both textures and material colors exist. Enabled by default.
  4. Result:
    • Datasource: Select target datasource for result data from dropdown list.
    • Result Dataset: Set name for resulting dataset.
  5. After configuration, click Execute to complete point-attached external model data import.
