3DM Import for SpaceClaim - Rhinoceros 3DM file import add-in for SpaceClaim

3DM Import for SpaceClaim is a Rhinoceros (.3dm) file import add-in for SpaceClaim. This add-in gives SpaceClaim the ability to import polygon mesh data from Rhinoceros/OpenNURBS 3DM files.

SpaceClaim already has the ability to import 3DM files. However the 3DM import feature ignores polygon mesh objects in a 3DM file. 3DM Import for SpaceClaim removes this limitation by reading polygon mesh data stored in 3DM files and importing it into SpaceClaim. A polygon mesh in a 3DM file is comprised of a set of triangular or quad faces. 3DM Import for SpaceClaim creates trimmed planar surfaces for each face and knits them together to create a solid. The solid is then cleaned up so that adjacent coplanar faces are merged in single trimmed planar faces. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DM Import for SpaceClaim will create a closed solid feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

3DM Import for SpaceClaim is very easy to use. It adds new commands to SpaceClaim. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SpaceClaim and adds a new ribbon bar to SpaceClaim called "3DMImport" containing the newly added commands.

3DM Import for SpaceClaim comes with detailed documentation as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
