LiteBox3D Pro

Features

21

Pro functionality: Markup, Redlining

• For design reviews the markup function allows to show and hide parts, change colors of components, create sections and measurements and add notes by redlining elements such as lines and text.

• The markup features are stored in a separate file, so that the source JT file remains untouched by the markup operations.

• Markup elements can be created with LiteBox3D Pro whereas existing markups can be read and displayed also in the free LiteBox3D release.

22

Pro functionality: Add, edit, and delete properties & values

• LiteBox3D Pro enables the user to add, edit, and delete properties of

JT parts and assemblies (monolithic, fully shattered and per part).

23

Pro functionality: Geometry / Topology analysis

• The topology analysis displays

the internal structure of BRep

elements.

24

Pro functionality: Image Capture Batch Tool

• With the liteimage.exe

command line utility, images

of a JT model or assembly

(PLMXML, STEP AP242

XML) are captured.

• The captured image is

saved in PNG format.

• For use as thumbnail in

PDM, etc.

25

Pro functionality: Silhouette creation

• The silhouette of the 3D geometry

is created onto the current view

plane.

• Silhouettes can be stored as

redlining objects.

26

Pro functionality: Adjustment of lighting settings

The lighting settings can be adjusted.

• “Specular lighting enabled” with more

reflections on the surface

• “Specular lighting disabled” with no

reflections on the surface (allows better

screenshots of parts with high reflective

material)specular lighting enabled

specular lighting disabled
