Export to IPad

Current model can be exported directly from inside 3DS as a SimLab Archive file (*.zim) which can be opened by SimLab CAD Viewer on IPad, IPhone and IPod touch

Transfer to SimLab

The user can transfer current 3DS model(s) to SimLab Composer, this will automatically open SimLab Composer in mini (plugin) mode. The user can use mini mode to assign materials from the material library, to change 3D PDF settings, and to create scene states.

This mode was designed to make SimLab Composer work simultaneously with 3DS.

Rendering

SimLab Composer Rendering and Animation editions enable the user to render the current model from inside 3DS

 

Rendering from inside 3DS utilizes SimLab Composer retain material capability, which means it is enough to assign rendering materials once inside SimLab Composer (plugin mode). Performing a rendering from inside 3DS after that, on the same model, will automatically reapply the materials and create high quality rendered image using them. This will make working on multiple stages of a model faster and easier..
