Here at last: The STEP Import
Import 3D models from your mechanical CAD System or from the web:
- to your TARGET 3001! projekt
- to your component data base
- to the COMPONIVERSE
- for your STEP-Export
Import 3D-CAD data in *.stp format to TARGET 3001!
How to proceed?
- save the *.stp 3D model of the desired part from the manufacturers website to a directory of your choice.
- activate the STEP import using the TARGET component browser.
- add the 3D model to your package
Image: In the TARGET 3001! data base you recognize that a certain component has no 3D model (e.g. manufacturer WAGO). So we have a look at the manufacturer's website.
Image: WAGO offer a 3D model of the part in STEP format, please download it (*.stp).
STEP AP203 is monochrome. In most 3D CAD systems the view is in shades of gray. STEP AP214 is polychrome. The color can be adapted later. Save the file to a directory, unzip it if needed.
Image: In the TARGET 3001! component browser click (M2) on the image, where you would expect the 3D image. Now you need to create a user copy of the part. You don't want to create an extruded model of its outline (because you want to have the STEP model). So deny this request.
Image: In the 3D editor press the STEP button (bottom left).
Image: The dialog "Load and manipulate STEP data" opens. Press button: Load STEP file.
Image: Select the desired STEP file in order to open it in TARGET 3001!.
500px
Image: The STEP model comes in to the 3D editor and eventually needs being brought to position. So you need to align it. In case the colour appears to you too weak in contrast you might change it in this dialog.
Image: In order to align the part you may flip it around X-, Y- or Z-axis and do the fine adjustment by the sliders.
Image: The OK button overtakes it to TARGET in the way you have aligned it.
Image: The part in question used in the TARGET 3001! layout and visualized in the 3D view.
Image: Upload the part to the COMPONIVERSE.
