Exporting 3D models to Collada: The Options

File name Click the browse button and select the directory into which you want to save the exported file.
 
Phases Phases of the 3D folding sequence that will be included in the upload, as well as at which phase the file will open.
Animation
  • First The animated sequence begins from the phase set here.
  • Last The animated sequence ends with the phase set here.
  • Initial Sets the phase that the 3D model starts with.

    IMPORTANT: The phase starts at the selected phase's end state. That is, if you want the animation to start at the beginning of a phase, in Initial select the name of the previous phase: its end state coincides with the initial state of the phase you need. --End-- indicates the end state of the phase set in Last.
Still Scene The exported file displays a still scene of the folding sequence as selected in the Initial phase.
 
Settings Set the grade of quality of the applied artwork and textures in the exported file.
Artwork quality Sets the quality in which you want EngView to export the textures on the 3D model.

TIP: You can set a quality size of up to 16k, but before setting a size, make sure that the video adapter that will be displaying the exported file supports this quality size.
Allow GLSL Select this check box to include shader-dependent effects in the exported file. These effects include smooth edges along crease lines, imprint effects (embossing and debossing) and varnished surfaces.

IMPORTANT: Leaving the check box empty will not visualize crease line in the exported file.
 
Export measure lines Select the check box to export the measure lines added to the 3D drawing.

IMPORTANT: When the check box is selected, the measure lines are exported regardless if you have elected to hide them in the 3D work area.
View file after generation Select the check box if you want to view the file has been generated.
