3d picture

[jerryvdk]

Hi,

I want to plot a 3d picture of rail in labview and then i want to map values into 3d rail. How can i plot the rail ?. Can i draw rail in solidworks and can i import it into labview?. Is there any example ?

Export you model as a "*.wrl" file and search the LV help for the 3D example showing you how to import the file. If your sensors are fixed there is even an example that lets you map your sensors to the surface.

It takes a little learning but it all there.

Thake care,

Yes.

I believe it is ctrl + mouse drag down (or shift + Mouse drag down). My son figured it out (using the old CW 3D graph) by just mashing keys and dragging.

Have fun!
