PIX Import for Rhino is a Dr. Picza (.pix) file import plug-in for Rhinoceros® 3.0 and 4.0. This plug-in gives Rhino the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary PIX files.

PIX Import for Rhino reads surface and polygon mesh data stored in PIX files and imports it into Rhino. If the PIX file contains a scan of a surface, PIX Import for Rhino can recreate the surface as a single nurbs surface or sets of nurbs curves, polylines or lines describing the isocurves or even a set of node points. If the PIX file contains the scan information in the form of a polygon mesh, PIX Import for Rhino recreates the mesh model inside the active Rhino drawing. The mesh can be recreated as set of points, lines, faces or a polygon mesh.

PIX Import for Rhino is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. It adds new commands to Rhino and also a new submenu called "PIXImport" which houses these commands.


Pricing

PIX Import for Rhino is priced at 195 EUR only. This is the price of a single user license. For your bulk-licensing needs please contact us.


Installation & Usage

Since PIX Import for Rhino is a plug-in, it is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into the Rhino environment. If automatic loading fails there are manual loading instructions in the ReadMe file.

The PIX File Format

The PIX file format is the native file format of a digitizer software called Dr. Picza which comes bundled with Roland DG digitizers. The digitizer scans an object and transfers the 3D point data to the Dr. Picza software which saves it in the PIX file format. PIX files can contain scan data in two formats: surface and polygon mesh. The surface format is used when the top surface of an object is being digitized, whereas the polygon mesh format is used when the entire surface of an object is being digitized.
