Model configuration

In the model configuration view, project administrator can publish 3D models, manage object attributes, define rules for submodel publishing, edit and add model hierarchies, and enable the QR code reader of CADMATIC eGo to read custom codes.

• Click Model Configuration to open model configuration view in project administration.

  

Models can be added to CADMATIC eShare in three ways:

• CADMATIC Plant/Outfitting can send the 3D model of a design project directly to eShare.

• CADMATIC Plant/Outfitting and CADMATIC Hull can export the 3D model as an .ebm file, and project administrator can upload the .ebm file to eShare.

• Project administrator can import 3D models in multiple formats directly to eShare.

After a model has been added to eShare, project administrator can publish the model, and then the model will be visible to users.

Note: Models that have an expiry date cannot be used in eShare.

Attributes describe the properties of the graphical objects that comprise the 3D model: their dimensions, mass, and position ID, for example. In the model configuration view, project administrator can specify which attributes to show to the users, define a separate display name for each attribute, and even generate new attributes by extracting data from existing attributes. Attributes can be used in various ways to retrieve information about the model objects and visualize this information to the users. In the 3D viewer, the available attributes are displayed when the user selects to examine an object. Users can also search for objects that have specific attributes or attribute values, and the 3D viewer can show objects in different colors based on their attributes.

If the project is accessed by eShare for HoloLens users, project administrator can specify rules that create submodels which only have specific objects instead of the full model.
