when I want to import 3d files or even pdf or jpeg files, it is not possible for me to
To import 3D files or image files (such as PDF or JPEG) into Shapr3D, follow these steps:
- Access the Import Tool:
- From the modeling space, go to File and then choose between Import as a New Project… or Import to Current Project….
- Alternatively, go to the Add menu > Image or File.
- From the Dashboard, go to Projects > Import.
- Select the File:
- From the modeling space, select the file you want to import and click Open.
- For images, you can use the gizmo to position the image and the Opacity slider to adjust the transparency. Select Done to finish.
- Optionally, use the Move/Rotate or Translate tool to reposition your newly imported file.
Important Notes:
- Ensure that your source file is not damaged or corrupted and that your device has enough memory to process the import.
- The source model should fit the available design space in Shapr3D, which is 1 km³.
- Your file should not include any sketches with polylines. When you import files from other software, some lines and curves might not be accurately displayed in Shapr3D.
If you are still experiencing issues, please ensure that you are using a compatible file format. Here are the supported file types for importing:
2D sketches:
- DWG and DXF
3D bodies:
- X_T or X_B
- STEP
- IGES
- STL (for reference only)
- SHAPR
- SLDPRT
- SLDASM (including external references that are not stored in mesh files)
Images:
- PNG
- JPG
- 2D PDF (single or first page only)
