SMG File Security Question

jibberjab — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:51:12 GMT

Hi, I am a relatively new member and have been using Composer 2010x and 2011 for a few months now. I have a file security/3d data question I like to ask.

If an SMG file has been frozen for publication, how difficult is it to extract the 3d data inside and re-use it outside Composer player?

I know Acrobat 3D has a facility to intercept data from the Graphics card and capture it (having tried this with an smg file it does not appear to work thankfully). I guess this type of funcionality won't be unique to Acrobat. Can anybody say whether there are any measures in place (in the smg file) to prevent this kind of extraction?

I realise no security measure is absolutely safe but am trying to gauge how difficult it would be for someone to seperate 3D data (whether degraded or not) from the frozen Composer file.

Thanks for any help.

Hello, I have problem with creating AVI in 3Dvia composer. When I save the video "save avi as" (it�s not important if compressed or not compressed) I allways get video, which takes only 11 second. Please, could you help me, how to get longer avi video? Thanks, SASA

color faces

This has probably been suggested but it would be awesome to be able to:

Select individual faces of an object and give them different color / texture.

Scaling time does not move markers

cbreving — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 19:20:10 GMT

We use event links to control going to different markers.
Any time I go into the timeline to scale it to add extra time the markers do not move. This is very frustrating as I then have to go back and move them to line up with the keys they are associated to.

Is there a way now or in the future to include the markers when moving or scaling keys or time in the timeline.

Open NX Files

PauloBR — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:45:20 GMT

Hello Guys,

Good morning!
I'm working in a project that all the 3D content comes from a NX database. I know that this kind of file is not supported, to solve it I'm converting that files to Step, and then opening in Composer. There is a big problem here, that is the size of the files. Some files could have something around 600Mb, the Step file!!!:rolleyes:

When I try to convert them, Composer downs! I' using a good machine with Windows 64 bits!
After this, I started to divide the big file in small ones! This procedure takes several hours and at the end doesn't present a good result, when we say about meta and grafic properties.

Is there a better way to work in this case?

Thanks a lot!

Have a nice day!

Animation-Problem

caferuen — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 06:34:02 GMT

Hello together,

i want create an animation of an assembly with several Parts. The Parts will be mounted during the mounting process via 3DVIA Composer. Beginning with setting of the End Point in the timeline for each Part which will be mounted. The I made the movement(translation/rotation) of each Part step by step. Finally I play the animation of the mounting process. All Parts, who are mounted have the same beginning Point of their Animation in the timeline(f.e. 0 seconds), there is an overlapping/overlaying of the movement/translation. I have Problem with the start point of each Part. How could I create independent start points of translation/rotation for each Part? Each Part should move step by step. For example when one Part moves, the other Parts in the assemly should be in rest position...

Greetings

I am in washington state and new to 3dvia composer, I am trying to tackle the animation aspect of this program, any help or advice would be great!

I would be happy to assist anyone in return (if I can!)

V2011 Detail View For Bom Tabel

ctierney06 — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:15:36 GMT

Hi,

In previous versions there was an option to use the detail view under technical illustrastion workshop to create a bom table image. this was very usefull as it allowed me to create several different bom tables throughout an animation for creating work instruction. I have noticed in the new version that this option is no longer available.

Can anyone shed some light on the matter

Regards

Chris

Can not fix my opacity in an animation.

jheaven — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 15:33:11 GMT

The problem I am having has to do with opacity changing and animations. I know how to, and have had no problems doing fade ins and outs using the actor's opacity slider and keys on the time line.

However, I have encountered a problem after I had to go back to a point in the animation and make a group of objects opaque, well later in the animation I need this group of actors to reappear and no matter how many time I select them (in regular and assembly selection mode) and slide the opacity slider all the way up, they will not return to 100% opacity. I go back and add full opacity keys where I need them to be, and it won't work. I checked and nothing is ghosted in my scene. I manage to get one of the objects in this group in question ( a piece of tubing) to reappear and correct itself, but there are some steel plates and screws I can not for the life of me get to reappear.

It is hard to put into words just what I am experiencing, but I tried to make it as clear as possible. In a nutshell, all my opacity shifting works fine except with some objects that seem to be unaffected by the opacity slider no matter what I do.

Difficulty to use GetPropertyValue method

benjamvs — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:58:38 GMT

Hello,

I'm developping a C# application using 3DVia Player Pro ActiveX API. I failed to use one of the method : GetPropertyValue.
I'd like to get the "Actor name" property value and use the following code :

Quote:

string selection = axDS3DVIAPlayerActiveX1.Selection;
string strPropName = "Actor.Name";
string currentName = axDS3DVIAPlayerActiveX1.GetPropertyValue(selection , strPropName);

In this code, the 'selection' variable is well valuated with a single selected object but the method GetPropertyValue returns an empty string.
I tried several syntax for strPropName without success. I also tried to get some other properties but no result too.
Does anybody have a solution for this issue ?
Thanks a lot.

Ben
