3D Interoperability

[thodisahus]

Hi,

I replica watches read a CATIA V5 part file using InterOP. Is it possible to access materials (transparency, reflection, texture) ?

I'm using : api_rh_get_material_transp,api_rh_get_material_reflection,api_rh_get_material_texture but it's not working.

Am i doing something wrong ?

Hi there,

I believe that the specific attributes you are seeking are not imported (but somebody else can verify this).  The attributes supported in V5 import/export are listed in the documentation here:

http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/InterOp:Connect/CATIA_V5#Attribute_Mapping

which can be accessed directly from the InterOp documentation portal (http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/Portal:InterOp) in the table titled "3D InterOp Components".  In the column headed "Attribute Mapping" you can find a quick reference for all supported attribute translation - the link on the column header (http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/InterOp:Connect/Attribute_Mapping) takes you to the global attribute mapping table; the individual entries in that column link to the format-specific documentation pages.

Best regards,

Ray
