Preprocess for AVEVA Point Cloud Manager - Viewer

If you have an existing Viewer project and wish to update the objects file, you will need to pre-process the objects file in Point Cloud Manager.

To do this:

1. Right-click on the object files you wish to pre-process and select Preprocess AVEVA Point Cloud Manager - Viewer. This could be either a .zgl, .fbx or a .rvm file.

   Important: You should only open files from a trustworthy source.

   

2. Provide the required information:

   • Select BubbleViews to process objects - Select the BubbleViews against which the object file should be processed. It is usual for all the BubbleViews to be selected

   • Viewer Project Location - Browse to the location of the Viewer project.

     When selecting a .rvm file, the Object units field is disabled as it is defined in the .rvm file.

3. Select OK to proceed.

   At the end of object pre-processing, the object cache files are saved to the Objects folder of the publish location. This can then be added into a Viewer project.

Point Cloud Manager enables you to now create Viewer model files directly from a .rvm or a .fbx file. The model files are then made available in a Viewer project after they have been pre-processed for AVEVA Point Cloud Manager - Viewer.

You can also select a .rvm or a .fbx file as part of the publishing project by right-clicking the project node and selecting Publish > AVEVA Point Cloud Manager - Viewer project. For details, refer to the AVEVA Point Cloud Manager - Viewer Project Publishing section.
