How to Use the 3D Viewer

The 3D Viewer allows you to manipulate models from 3D data uploaded to meviy in a similar way as with CAD software.

(1) Toolbar

The names of each tool and what you can do with these tools are specified below.

Function Name What You Can Do
  • Designate Design Origin
 Move the design’s origin point. → Change a Design’s Origin
  • Add Dimensions
 Add dimensions and dimensional tolerances. → Add/Remove Dimensions and Dimensional Tolerances
  • Add Dimensions in Batch
 Batch add coordinate dimensions based on the origin point. → Add/Remove Dimensions and Dimensional Tolerances*This function is not available when a precision hole is set as the origin.
  • Delete PMI
 Remove added dimensions. → Add/Remove Dimensions and Dimensional Tolerances
  • Hide dimensions
 Hides dimensional tolerances guaranteed by “Default General Tolerance Standards for Machined Dimensions.”
Function Name What You Can Do
  • Split Grouped Holes
 You can split holes grouped during shape recognition. → Splitting Grouped Holes
  • datum
 Datum can be set. Geometric tolerances can be set. → Set datum / geometric tolerances
  • datum
 Datum can be set. Geometric tolerances can be set. → Set datum / geometric tolerances
  • Change font size
 You can change the font size of the PMI display. → Changing Font Sizes
  • Simple 2D Drawing
 Download image files that capture each orthogonal direction of the 3D models and arrange them via 3rd angle projection.
  • Measurement
 This function allows measurement of models uploaded.→Measuring 3D models

(2) Cube

キューブ

Rotate the cube to change the orientation of the currently displayed parts.

Click [Isometric View] to return to the isometric view (default orientation).

(3) Display Style

Hovering the mouse over the “Display Style” button brings up a menu that allows you to toggle the display of the 3D model and show/hide text information in the 3D viewer.

(4) PMI

PMI is an abbreviation of Product Manufacturing Information and refers to textual information for dimensions and holes. The position of the PMI display can be moved by dragging.
