Aligning the Virtual Scene

You can align the virtual scene with a physical seat to experience the design from a seating position. This is especially useful for interior vehicle reviews.

  1. Open a model.
  2. Make sure that the robot location and physical tracker positions are identical relative to the seat.
  3. From the AR-VR section of the action bar, click HMD .
  4. From the AR-VR section of the action bar, click Viewpoints .
  5. In the Viewpoints dialog box, click .
  6. In the Virtual Reference area, specify the reference either through an object, or through the Robot.
    OptionDescription
    No Selection Lets you specify the reference through the tree or an object in the scene. To do so, click No Selection first. Then select a product, a part, or a shape in the 3D area, or in the tree.
    Lock Current Orientation Lets you specify the reference through the Robot. To do so, proceed in the following order: right-click the Robot, select Lock Current Orientation, position the Robot manually at tracker position relative to seat, and then click from Robot.
  7. In the Offset area, define the virtual reference translation and rotation offsets.

    The translation offset corresponds to the offset of the physical seat buck‘s seating reference to the attached tracker‘s origin. Position the robot according to the seating reference's coordinates. To do so, right-click the Robot, select Edit..., and then use the Position options.

  8. In the Physical Reference area, define the following options:
    OptionDescription
    Tracker Lists all available trackers.

    The default value is Tracking origin and is relevant for configurations with no specific device.

  9. Click Align at the bottom of the dialog box.

    Important: You can click Align only if the tracker chosen in the Tracker list is available.

  10. To exit the command, click Viewpoints .
