3D Interoperability

[castillor]

We encountered a CAD model that is far away from the coordinate system which resulted in a SPAX_E_BOX_TOO_BIG translation error. Is there a way to properly handle these kinds of models? Thanks.

Hello Castillor,

Do you think you can translate the model to the origin and continue with your workflow?

Oh okay, this may be a possible solution. So to clarify, do you mean that after the InterOp translation we can just translate the model to somewhere within the bounding box limit and this will be okay? Thank you.

Yes. If the body is within the dynamic range then all operations should work. You can translate and then fix the transform so that all the operations do not have to consider the transforms.

I am not familiar with on how to fix the transform. Can you point me to some documentation on how to do this? Thank you very much for the reply.
