Snap to Ground
The Snap to Ground quickly moves the model in the Y-direction (up-down), to snap the lowest point on the models bounding box to the ground plane. This is useful when the model has been moved and is no longer touching the ground plane.
In the Models tab in the Library panel you can find Models, which you can easily add to your scene. These can be everything from primitive geometry and regular products to entire scenarios, with lighting ad cameras, where you can display your product in context. KeyShot Cloud also offers a bunch of models just waiting for you to download.
From KeyShot Cloud you can also add models by drag and drop onto the Real-time View. Alternatively you can download the models and add them from the local library. In both cases the model will be added to the downloads folder in the library, from where you can drag it to the relevant folder.
In earlier versions of KeyShot you had the option to add Primitives from the Main menu > Edit > Add Geometry. These are now included in the Model library in the Geometry folder. There are 10 hotkeys (ctrl/cmd+0-9) available for for easy adding of models. These are by default applied to the first 10 Primitives in the Geometry folder (sorted by a-z).
Before exporting the models into the .bip file I changed the settings within Creo so that the edges display quality was set to high quality and the shade quality was set to 21 out of a possible 50 (I have no tried at 50 - there is no difference that I can see)
As the title says, duplicate models will not show up in my scene tree, so If they are inside of other objects I can't edit the material without dragging everything out and misplacing all my parts, I have never had this issue before, I would love it if anyone has any answers!
As the first Workbench app integration dedicated to 3D rendering and visualization, the link between KeyShot and GrabCAD allows you to both open your models inside KeyShot from GrabCAD and publish your renderings and scenes from KeyShot back to GrabCAD, all with the click of a button.
Amazing features in the most remarkable user interface for rendering. The most simple approach to illuminate your products and scenes. More material and color options than ever before. Enhancements that completely integrate visual production within your product development pipeline. This is KeyShot.FastEverything inside KeyShot happens in realtime. KeyShot uses unique rendering technology which makes it possible to see all changes to materials, lighting, and cameras instantly. You donʼt need to hit the render button and wait for minutes or hours to wait for the results. As soon as you assign a material to a part, you will see what a material will look like under the given lighting conditions.IntegratedKeyShot is tightly integrated with your 3D data. When you import 3D geometry, KeyShot maintains the entire model structure including part and assembly names. Changes made to your model in 3D can import back into KeyShot without having to reassign materials or lighting. In addition, KeyShot can also be accessed directly from within many 3D software packages through a plugin.AccurateKeyShot is the most accurate rendering solution for your 3D data. KeyShot is the first realtime ray tracing application that uses a physically correct render engine based on scientific research in the areas of scientifically accurate material representation and global illuminationLarge data setsKeyShot can handle extremely large data sets. There are no restrictions on the size of the data set as long as the computer has enough memory available. KeyShot is highly optimized which makes it possible to work with models with tens of millions of polygons even on a laptop.
Just wanted to post this picture to show how well models made in Shapr3d are rendering. For this I exported a STEP file to dropbox and brought that back into A360 mobile app on the ipad. I am not sure what the maximum file size is going to be for this process, but this model of a meccano steam engine is already fairly busy!
What I want to do is creat very quick mockups and concepts that I can later use to create concept arts. So, the models I create aren't going to be used further, they do not have to be specific, they're just there for quick rendering in keyshot which will be overpainted heavily.
I made a quick concept of a plane and I want to texture it with 3Dcoat so I can export the model and textures for Keyshot. It is very high poly and I don't want to fiddle around with retopo and reparing the model, since it won't be used later. Is there a simple way to export the model with textures that keyshot can handle it ? I managed to do this with an terrain heightmap before. I imported the map, textured it roughly and was able to export the objects&textures in the keyshot advanced export-preset after I had to retopo.
This integration will enable the single-click transfer of IronCAD data into KeyShot along with the ability to keep model geometry updated to streamline the 3D visual creation process. What does that mean for IronCAD users? The quick creation of really cool, photorealistic renderings and animations of their CAD models for presentations, sales and marketing collateral or design reviews.
I am in the process of creating renderings to go on a website and brochures for the company that I work for. This is new to me because I have never done renderings before (first CAD job). Besides the renderings, I was wondering if there is any way to upload a 3D model to a website with capabilities to spin it around and zoom in/out? Does anybody have any experience with uploading 3D models to their websites that will allow me to do what I am hoping to do?
I have no information regarding the finances of this, I was just told to design some 3D models with different views. It was my idea to come up with an interactive option on the website. The owner said he would speak to the website designer and ask if it he/she was capable of making an interactive object. If that is not an option, we will still have renderings regardless.
@dgorsman I wouldn't say I was thrown into the deep end. I suppose I worded the question improperly when I asked. What I'm getting at is it possible to have an interactive 3D model on a website? I won't be doing anything with the website other than supplying the models for the web designer. We do not have any interactive models online, no. I just thought it would be a cool idea to throw out there because the boss is looking for ways to stand out from the crowd, and I haven't seen anything like this on any competitors websites.
@chris Thanks for the info! I'd like to think that I pick up new programs quickly, as far as the learning curve goes so I will probably try the keyshot 30 day trial. We do not own a copy of inventor, I have downloaded the 30 day trial to do what was requested to do. I showed the boss your examples and he loved them so I think we're going to use something like that on our website.
The most straightforward way to do such rendering would be importing your models in 3ds Max and then using Verge3D framework to put them online. This system is more robust since you are not locked to some cloud service and also will be able to assign custom logic using Puzzles logic editor which is shipped with Verge3D by default.

The photo of the file of autocad is attached first. Secondly is what i see in solidworks after loading it in 3D curves. and last is the keyshot loading.
I can't upload the DWG cause it is 15 mb.
I have never used Solidworks, so I spent about 30 minutes on Youtube looking for a video that would explain the proper procedure for importing Autocad 3D models into Solidworks but every video was importing .dwg files as a 2D sketch. The only one that showed how to import as a 3D model was in Chinese, but I could still follow along, watching the video, and I noticed in the import window there was an option to import all layers or selected layers. I assume you are importing "All layers"?
Solidworks is a very technical program and it needs you to feed it models that are put together correctly, and when I look at the error message you got when you tried to export to .sat format I can see there are 725 objects that were ignored because they are not solid bodies. So that's a big problem and it will take a lot of work to repair the model.
Late to the party, but is the DWG a surface model or a solid model? Sometimes the surface models will not import well into SolidWorks because there are problems analyzing the individual surfaces. When you tried to import it, did it give you any options to attempt to "heal" the surfaces?
KeyShot 9 introduces a new Model Library (above) that allows artists to add 3D models with complete materials and textures to a scene. These can range from primitive geometry and regular products to entire scenarios with lighting and cameras, where products can be displayed in context. All 3D models are accessed on KeyShot Cloud and may be searched, filtered and added to scenes with drag-and-drop. Models may then be moved, duplicated or altered as needed. Users can also populate the model library with their own models, either by importing them or creating a resource based on the current scene.
