Creating Redlining Files for 3D Models

Use

You can create comments for a 3D model without changing the original application file. You save the comments in a Redlining file.

As opposed to the layers used for making comments on 2D files, you cannot make changes to a Redlining after you have saved.

Prerequisites

You are displaying the original application file with the integrated viewer of the standard SAP system.

Procedure

Display the 3D model in such as way so that you can make your comments as easily as possible. You can rotate the model about its X-axis for example.

Select Tools ® Redlining.

In the first step set up the layout; such as lines, framing, and text formats. Click on and the dialog box Settings appears for these settings.

The remainder of the procedure depends on whether you want to anchor the markup in the 3D-model.

When you want to anchor the markup object, activate the anchor mode by clicking on (Anchor).
You can verify that the anchor mode is active. Place the cursor on the 3D model. The current cursor position is displayed using the little anchor symbol.
Select the desired markup function. For example, if you want to draw a line click on .
Click on the 3D model. Clicking on the 3D Model again allows you to create the markup object.
