Follow the steps below to set the move, rotate and scale factor for a single Smart Model or Smart Models that make up a streaming .vue file (.svf) project. While defining the destination coordinates, keep in mind that they are relative to the reference origin (where the model started out).

  1. Use the default project ([site database name]_General) provided with Smart Interop Publisher. This project is available only if you selected the configure option to create a default project the first time you opened Smart Interop Publisher or created a new site database. See Configure a site database.
    -OR-
    Select an existing project from the Projects list.

  2. If you are not in the Models View, click Models.

  3. In the Smart Models Grid, select a Smart Model.

    Changing the Reference Origin

  4. You can change the reference origin coordinates. The Move transform operation works as an offset relative to the reference origin (the model start position). Double-click in the columns below and type coordinates to change the reference origin.

    • Reference Origin East - Specifies the distance east to position the reference 3D model.

    • Reference Origin North - Specifies the distance north to position the reference 3D model.

    • Reference Origin Elevation - Specifies the elevation distance to position the reference 3D model.

    • Reference Point Units - Specifies the units of measure (inches or meters) for the coordinates. The default is inches (in).

    Defining the Move Transformation Settings

  5. In the Destination Type column, type one of the values below:

    • Delta Value - Defines an offset from the current position by a specified amount from the reference origin.

    • Delta Direction - Defines an offset from the current position by a specified distance and bearing from the reference origin.

    • Absolute - Defines the exact destination or no offset from the reference original of the moved display set (not an offset).

  6. Type values for the Destination Value (1-3) columns. The required values are determined by the Destination Type that is selected.

    For Absolute, specify the exact destination values:

    Destination Value 1 = East
    Destination Value 2 = North
    Destination Value 3 = Elevation

    For Delta Value, specify the destination delta or offset values:

    Move Destination Value 1 = East delta
    Move Destination Value 2 = North delta
    Move Destination Value 3 = Elevation delta

    For Delta Direction, specify the delta direction values:

    Move Destination Value 1 = Distance
    Move Destination Value 2 = Bearing angle
    Move Destination Value 3 = Elevation angle

  7. Move Destination Point Units - Specifies the units of measure (inches or meters) for the destination type. The default is meters (m).

    Defining the Rotate Transformation Settings

    For the rotation, the reference origin is adjusted internally by the move deltas you specified above as the Move Destination Type.

  8. Double-click in the columns below and type coordinates (in degrees) to rotate the model.

    • Side (East) Rotation Angle - Specifies the angle in the east direction to rotate the model.

    • Front (North) Rotation Angle - Specifies the angle in the north direction to rotate the model.

    • Plan (Elevation) Rotation Angle - Specifies the angle in the elevation or Z axis to rotate the model.

    Defining the Scale Factor

  9. In the Scale Factor column, type a uniform scale factor.

    The specified move and/or rotate information is not scaled by the scale factor.

  10. When you finish defining the transformation settings for each Smart Model, you can now open or load each in your selected target applications.
    -OR-
    Click Update if you have already opened the Smart Model in any of the target applications. Then you must update (Smart 3D) or re-open the Smart Model (Smart Review) to get the transformation settings.
