Tabbed page AVI options

  • Image settings [Picture settings]:

    Width in pixels [Width in pixel], height in pixels [Height in pixel]

    Enter the desired height and width in the input fields.

  • Animation settings:

    • View:

      Select the desired view from the list box:

      • Front

      • Rear [Back]

      • Right

      • Links [Left]

      • Above [Top]

      • Below [Bottom]

      • Isometric

    • Bitmap format:

      Usually leave the default value "RGB32".

      Otherwise select the desired bitmap format from the list field.

    • Animation Frame [Animation frame]:

      Frames per rotation

      [Note]Note

      Please note the interaction with the settings under Rotation settings.

      Example:

      If you set a rotation step to 1°, you need 360 frames per rotation to perform a full rotation.

      The more frames, the larger the file.

    • Distance between images in 1/100 sec (1-255) [Delay between frames in 1/100 secs. (1-255)]

      The rotation speed results from this setting and the Animation Frame [Animation frame] setting.

    • 3D template:

      You can adapt the color style to the layout of PARTsolutions versions, CAD systems and other style sheets:

      8.1, 9.0, Purist, Metal, Wood, Catia V5, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, NX, One Space Designer, Pro/Engineer, Inventor

    • Transparency:

      To obtain a transparent background, activate the option.

      Not transparent

      Not transparent

      Transparent

      Transparent

  • Codec settings [Codec configuration]:

    • Codec

      From the list field select the desired Codec.

      [Note]Note

      The list values are not set, they are read out from your system.

      The best quality is provided by the No codec [No Codec] setting, although very large files are created without a codec.

      Select a Codec from the list with which the quality and file size are in the desired relationship.

    • Scaling [Scale]: Default value '1' (smallest possible value)

      Time scaling. The larger the number, the slower the movement.

    • Frames per second: 24

      The more frames per second, the smoother the movement, but also the larger the file.

    • Bytes per second: Default = 500

      This setting concerns the quality

    • Quality (0 - 10): Default: 10

      General settings for quality

    • Keyframe all [Keyframes]: Default value =1

      Usually you leave this setting. Changing to '2' would cut the number of key frames in half.

    • Interleaving:

      Audio and video data is saved meshed together.

  • Rotation settings:

    Optionally, you can define the rotational increment in degrees for individual axes.

  • Target file [Destination file]:

    Click on Browse ... the Explorer opens.

    Change the path and file name if necessary. In any case, leave the file extension unchanged.

Tabbed page Cross section

  • Cross-section

    Cutting plane [Cut plane]:

    Select YZ plane, XZ plane or XY plane in the list field

    '+ ' or '- ' (mirror-inverted representation of the section)

    Shifting [Displacement] the cutting plane:

    In the input field, enter the desired displacement. (The numerical value refers to the measuring unit of the part.)

  • Quarter cut

    To create a quarter section, activate both the checkbox for cross section [Cross-section] and the checkbox for quarter section [Quarter cut].

    The same applies to the settings as for cross-section.
