To Load a Full Smart 3D or SmartPlant Review model from a VUE or HSF file

  1. From the piping input, click S3D/SPR Model .

    The software opens the Load S3D/SPR Model dialog box.

  2. Click Browse and navigate to the location of the VUE or HSF file you want to display and click Open.

    Alternatively, you can type the path name in the field.

  3. Select Full Load.

  4. Select the degree to rotate the model, if necessary, from the Model Rotation.

    The software rotates the model to the angle you specify based on the original angle of the model when you loaded it.

  5. Click Load File to display the graphic file in the CAESAR II 3D Graphics pane.

    You can return to the dialog box and select another angle from the Model Rotation. The software displays the rotation immediately on the 3D graphics pane so that you can review the rotation before you click Load File.

To Load a Partial Smart 3D or SmartPlant Review model using the Bounding Box

The bounding box functionality allows you to specify which portion of the graphic model to import into your CAESAR II model.

You can either define the bounding box to the boundaries of the existing CAESAR II model or select part of the existing CAESAR II model using the Select Group option on the Standard Operators toolbar. Then, click Draw Cube at the bottom of the dialog box, and adjust as needed.

  1. From the piping input, click S3D/SPR Model .

    The software opens the Load S3D/SPR Model dialog box.

  2. Click Browse and navigate to the location of the VUE or HSF file you want to display and click Open.

  3. Select Partial Load.

    Select Re-Import if you need to refresh or change your visibility settings.

  4. Select the degree to rotate the model, if necessary, from the Model Rotation.

    The software rotates the model to the angle you specify based on the original angle of the model when you loaded it.

  5. Select the Use Model Bounding-Box option.

    Alternatively, select elements in the area of interest by drawing a selection window around them using the Selection Group option in the Standard Operators toolbar. Then, select Bounding Box from Selection in the Bounding Box Coordinates.

  6. Click Draw Cube at the bottom of the dialog box.

    You can then resize or pan the cube in all six dimensions (up, down, left, right, front, back) until you have enclosed all the parts of the graphic model you want to load into a CAESAR II model.

    As shown in the figure above, the bounding box has six markers:

    • Anchor Marker - Indicates the starting point of the bounding box (shown in red). You cannot resize the model using this marker.

      The three faces to which the anchor marker is connected are fixed (cannot be moved via any of the markers). You can move the whole bounding box by panning it.

    • Top Face Marker - Moves the top face (for example, the face that is perpendicular to top-view-axis of the model, such as Y_Up, Z_Up).

    • Base Markers - Allows you to re-size the bounding box by selecting any one of three markers and dragging the mouse.

      • Base Marker 1 - Moves the rest of the two faces along with Base Marker 3.

      • Base Marker 2 - Moves these two faces simultaneously.

      • Base Marker 3 - Moves the rest of the two faces along with Base Marker 1.

    • Centroid Marker - Sits at the center of the bounding box volume and moves the whole bounding box from one position to another.

      The values for the X, Y, and Z axes display in the Starting Point boxes, depending on how you manipulate the size and shape of the cube with the graphics markers. The Starting Point boxes are view-only boxes that are for informational purposes only.

  7. Click Load File.

    The software loads all components that are inside the bounding box into your model. A component that originates within the bounding box and extends beyond the boundaries of the bounding box displays in its entirety. A component that lies completely outside of the bounding box is totally excluded from the view.
