OBJ Export for SolidWorks - Wavefront OBJ file export add-in for SolidWorks
OBJ
Export for SolidWorks is a Wavefront OBJ file export add-in for
SolidWorks®. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to export 3D solid
and surface data from a SolidWorks part and assembly document to meshes
in an OBJ file.
OBJ
Export for SolidWorks tessellates the solid bodies in a SolidWorks
part or assembly document into individual triangular meshes. These
meshes are then exported to an OBJ file as mesh objects. The level of
tessellation can be controlled by adjusting
the resolution slider in the OBJ Export for SolidWorks options
dialog box. A lower resolution will yield coarse meshes (lesser faces),
whereas a higher resolution will result in finer meshes (more faces).
You can also choose to have the Y Axis point upwards.
OBJ
Export for SolidWorks is very easy to use. Once installed, it
automatically loads itself into SolidWorks and adds a new submenu called
"OBJExport" to the SolidWorks menu.
OBJ
Export for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.
If you
need any additional information please contact SYCODE.
The
OBJ File Format
The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed
by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package.
The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics
application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file
format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D
geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture
coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the
faces that make each polygon.
