Exploring 3D CAD Models
To start exploring a model you uploaded, do one of the two things:
- Select organization (top of the page, defaults to 'Personal'), workspace (is listed once you select organization), and directory where it's located. Then single-click to open and after that click Explore.
- Click the "hamburger" button in the upper left corner and choose "My Models" in the drop-down list to view all the models you uploaded, then single-click the model of interest.
Lens will create mesh from the original model and display it in the 3D space:
Navigation uses a conventional interaction model:
- Left-click and drag to rotate the camera around the model.
- Right-click and drag to pan the camera.
- Scroll the mouse wheel or middle-click and drag up/down to zoom in and out.
- Single-click select an object (Ondsel ES's body) in the model.
The vertical toolbar on the right provides contains several commands (top to bottom):
- Get info: displays basic information about the model's file (Date, Name, Created By, Organization)
- Fit all or selection: zooms the camera so that either the entire model (no selection) or a selected object fills the entire viewport.
- See model attributes: displays a list of adjustable custom attributes of a model, pre-created in Ondsel ES (see Model Customization for details).
- Manage share links: opens the dialog to manage share links for this model (see Share links for details).
- Export model: opens the dialog to export this model as a file to your local file storage.
