Hi team

I thinking about start using your app for my work as Lightdesign in theatre. But will it be possible to export my models from your app in one of this formats:

Hi
Does wyg support any of this formats?
STEP, IGES and high quality STL. ?
I haven’t heard of them before, but I’m pretty sure that neither of them are supported.
WYSIWYG can open the following files straight in the program:

*.dwg (AutoCAD etc.)
*.dxf (AutoCAD etc.)
*.skp (Sketchup)
*.obj (Wavefront etc.)
*.dae (Collada)
*.fbx (Filmbox)
*.3ds (3D Studio Max)

I would prefer that it is 3D format :slight_smile:

Thanks great job your app looks great, but before I can use it I need to be able to export:)

Hi!

Here is a detailed explanation of these formats: http://blog.shapr3d.com/export-import-formats-supported-by-shapr3d/

These are industry standard file formats that are supported by all the major 3d modeling systems.

What is wyg?

Hi :slight_smile:

Okay but the program I would love to import your models to is only support the file formats that I have listed.

Wyg. Is the file format the program we a using to draw and simulate lights for theatre,concert etc.

These are all mesh formats (except dwg) so I suppose wyg is a meah modeller. In the linked blog post you can read more about the difficulties of importing mesh files to Shapr, and about why we don’t support it (yet).

Okay :frowning:
Maybe I can find a work a round, maybe export from the app to a program that supports your format, and then export from the program to a format that wyg. Can use. Will that be possible and still have the right scale etc. ?

It is really really hard to convert mesh to boundary representation in general. But not impossible, some CAD software can do that, but the results can be unsatisfying quite often.

#7

The output quality quite depends a lot on you input geometry. Can you show some examples?

#9

You could try something like this

Your mileage may vary and I doubt will be anything approaching perfect.

I personally have been using this to import mesh into Shapr3D when I really need to modify a mesh body for something.
