3DM Import for KeyCreator - Rhino 3DM file import add-in for KeyCreator

3DM Import for KeyCreator is a Rhinoceros 3DM file import add-in for KeyCreator. This add-in gives KeyCreator the ability to import geometric data from 3DM files.

3DM Import for KeyCreator reads 2D and 3D objects in 3DM files and recreates corresponding objects in KeyCreator. Not only does 3DM Import for KeyCreator read curve, surface and solid data from 3DM files, it also reads polygon mesh objects. A polygon mesh in a 3DM file is comprised of a set of triangular and/or quad faces. 3DM Import for KeyCreator creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DM Import for KeyCreator will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.


3DM Import for KeyCreator
is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Once installed, it must be loaded into the KeyCreator environment.

IMPORTANT! Purchasing a Subscription is highly recommended since it the most cost effective way of keeping your software up to date. Moreover, Subscription entitles you to get a second free perpetual license for your laptop, among many other benefits. For details please read the SYCODE License and Subscription Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Our licenses are single computer licenses and are locked to each computer they are installed on. Basically, the license key is specific to the computer's Host ID (the MAC address of the computer), and will not work on another computer. The installer picks up the physical MAC address of the network card connected to the computer which is basically “Ethernet adapter Network Connect Adapter”. So unless you change your network card, the key will always work even if you reinstall your operating system. If your internal network is periodically assigning a different Host ID to your computer, then please find a solution for this with your IT department.

The 3DM File Format

The 3DM (3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000, with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between applications via the 3DM file format. TerrainCAD, our terrain generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format as its native file format.
