    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    At the end there should be one model for the different uses. From my point of view is that a STEP AP214 file, involving surfaces, solids, assembly structure and so on. In my case I have produced the .stp file with SolidWorks 2005 so I'm completly astonished, that you can't open it. This was...

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    Our strategy is quite clear, for documents incl. their certification PDF is the international standard and available on all computers. For 3D-Models STEP-AP214, Acis or Parasolid are the best for the exchange between CAD-Systems. So the first step was, that we decided to involve in...

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    I have no problems with SolidWorks 2005, but some with Rhino 4.0. (Wrong solids in 5015) The problems with Rhino are quite normal; because Rhino is more surfaces based and in this sense extremely good, but have some problems with solids. So Rhino is great for surfaces and iges-files. For...

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    bnautika, Normally we try to work always via step AP214, when we dealing with CAD-files and try to make them such as robust that there are no difficulties to work with in different CAD-Systems. Beside the Step file we produce an ACIS 4.0 file for AutoCAD and other ACIS based software. The...

    But this is up to now only available in the expensive Acrobat 3D. Have you explored how to navigate with the assembly tree? Zoom to a part, turn around with the part in the middle? Cheers Bernd

    bhnautika, Thank you very much joining the discussion. The first and most important item is, that there is available, with the free new Acorabat Reader 8.1, a CAD-Viewer on all computers. The viewer is working great in all aspects. Have you installed already Acrobat reader 8.1? Cheers...

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    Hey Yipster, it is much simpler to discover your models then I thought. Open the assembly tree completly, zoom a part with a right click selection and then turn and zoom it. Enjoy it. Cheers Bernd

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    So never the less, your 3D-pdf file is a very good starting point, with all the different information, documents, links and models. To make it perfect is only a question of time. One little tip, it is better to use the second bottom from left to turn the model. Zooming could be done with the...

    3D hull and equipment models from the internet

    The Acrobat Reader 8.1 is of course free for anyone, but to create a 3D-PDF file you have to use the expensive Acrobat 3D software. You can download a 30day trial version from the Adobe side. If you have done so, we should further communicate on this topic. Cheers Bernd

    If we agree, that this is the solution we are looking for, then we should develop a strategy to get the boat equipment suppliers on the road to do so. Yipster, do you have any connections towards Vetus or others in Holland? Cheers Bernd
