PolyTrans 3DP export

You can export 3D model objects to a PolyTrans 3DP file (*.3dp). Then you can use the Okino PolyTrans converter to convert the file to other formats.

Prerequisites

• License: 3DP for Polytrans with Object Data

Do the following:

1. On the Model tab, in the Content group, select Export > PolyTrans 3DP. The Export 3DP dialog opens.

   Show/hide image

   

2. First, select the objects to export. Click Add, select the required objects from a work view, and then press Enter to accept the selection.

   You can click Remove to open a view where you can remove individual objects from the set.

   You can click Browse to show the selected objects in a separate view.

3. Specify the export settings:

   • Export insulation – If selected, insulation is exported as objects.
   • Abort export on error – If selected, problematic object geometry causes export to stop and no output file is generated. If using a Plant Modeller Service Instance for export, a log file by the name <export_filename>.failed_objects.txt is written into the output directory.
   • Export Service Spaces – If selected, also Service Spaces that are attached to exported objects are included in export.

4. In the Accuracy section, specify these settings:

   • Max segments – Specifies the maximum number of segments to use to approximate circles in primitives exported as face sets.
   • Max d – Specifies the maximum distance between a curve and approximating polyline exported as face sets.

5. In the 3D publishing control section, click Select to select the 3D publishing control to use. The publishing control can also contain tags that publish insulation attributes.

6. Click OK.

7. In the Save as dialog, specify the export location and file name, and click Save.
