Import 3D Model as a Drawing into 2D Window

Add a 3D model as an image to the 2D window. The image is not a model projection or a reference drawing.

Select a drawing method for the model view: wire frame model, shaded model or a rendered model.

  • When adding a wire frame model view, select an auxiliary positioning function, if necessary.
  • When adding a shaded or a rendered model view, you can change its size before selection a position.
Note:
  • The property is not used in the G4 ED application.
  • Before selecting the function, confirm the working window is not in the Extend state. Set windows in the way off, you can point the desired 3D window.
  • For example, smaller the size of the window, or overlap windows. After then select function. For example, split windows vertical before selecting the function.

Add a 3D model as an image to the 2D window as follows:
