Export to IPad

Current model can be exported directly from inside Rhino 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 Rhino 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 Rhino.

Rendering

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

 

Rendering from inside Rhino 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 Rhino after that will automatically update materials to high quality rendering materials, which will make working on multiple stages of the model faster and easier..
