3D visual configuration

Set up and manage DriveWorks 3D with a powerful visual scene editor.

• Manage the structure of your 3D scene by adding and removing nodes
• Control the content of your 3D document with property rules
• Quickly add powerful features such as lights, cameras and entity replacement

A complete 3D model, or any part of it, can be replaced with any other 3D model.

• Swap components with Replace Models
• Create new 3D models dynamically with SOLIDWORKS in real time
• Build complex 3D scenes with fast initial load times

Communicate complex product details easily with interactive 3D.

• Add movement with Pan and Rotate
• Control rotation with gyroscope input from mobile devices using the Orientation Entity
• Resize models quickly with Scale Models

Use Appearances to apply color and texture to 3D models.

• Change the appearance of components with Remap Appearance
• Textures can also be scaled, rotated and offset to fit the model exactly
• Increase realism with Bump and Specular maps

Use lighting to add realism, focus the user's attention and guide their choices.

• Choose from directional, point and spot lights
• Fine-grained control of light color, intensity and falloff
• Set up environment and skybox lighting

View models from multiple angles with cameras and apply effects to increase realism and focus the user's attention.
