-
- Select the export format.
- Enter the storage path of the export files.
- Optional: If you have selected an existing file, or generated one, click Open to check its content.
- Select a Laser projector.
- Select the Axis system used to compute the coordinates of the points in the export file.
- Set the Options.
- Discretization
- Core sample scope used when elevating the ply contour from its reference surface.
- Material thickness.
- Optional: Select the Invert stacking and normal vectors check box.
Note:
This does not affect the elevation of discretization points since the core sample is performed with the actual stacking order.
- By default, 3D shapes of plies and cut-pieces are exported. Select Flatten to export the flatten shapes instead.
When Flatten is selected: - 3D contours, geometries in Additional Geometries Set, 3D
stacking text directly under a ply or a cut-piece are ignored.
- Visible geometries and stacking texts created in a Flatten Body with
option Taken into account by laser projection are
taken into account.
- Stacking texts created outside Flatten Bodies with option Taken into account by laser projection are taken
into account only if different from 3D type.
- Guide curves and order of drape geometries are not
taken into account.
-
Automatic texts are not generated.
- Core Sample Scope options are disabled as there is no elevation.
- Compute is disabled as there is no core sampling.
- The Flatten Body category of stacking text is ignored. When selected in the export preview, the text is displayed with a line type font, like other 3D stacking texts.
- Each visible geometry of a Flatten Body generates one item in laser projection and one per domain. Points and surfaces are ignored.
- The items are listen in the 2D tree according to their category:
- Outer and inner contours are displayed as contours.
- Rosettes are displayed as Rosettes.
- Others are displayed as additional contours or curves.
-
Select the entities to export.
Selected entities are automatically discretized with the current discretization options. The preview tree opens with elements to export and projectors. - If relevant, select a Mirror
plane.
- Clear the mirror plane selection to de-activate the option.
- If you have selected a laser projector, select
the Mirror Target Points check box to mirror them as
well.
Note:
Laser projectors are not mirrored.
- Under the preview tree, select Options to set the display.
- Select a node in the preview tree to check the discretization parameters or the elements to export.
Note:
This is a selection for check, not for export.
- Select a projector node to display the rays on the target points.
- Optional: Double-click a projector node to edit the projector.
- If the discretization is not satisfactory, edit the discretization parameters, click Refresh Discretization and perform another check.
- Once you are satisfied with the check, click Compute.
-
Click Export.
A disabled Compute indicates there is no modification; the computation is quick. Otherwise, it will be longer as the normal vectors and elevation are computed anew.
