OBJ Export for SpaceClaim is a Wavefront (.obj) file import add-in for SpaceClaim®. This add-in gives SpaceClaim the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a SpaceClaim part or assembly document to 3d polygon meshes in a Wavefront OBJ file.
OBJ Export for SpaceClaim tessellates solid bodies in a SpaceClaim document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a Wavefront OBJ file as mesh objects. The OBJ file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.
OBJ Export for SpaceClaim is very easy to use. It adds new commands to SpaceClaim. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SpaceClaim and adds a new ribbon bar to SpaceClaim called "SYCODE" containing the newly added commands.
The 'SYCODE' ribbon bar consists of the following commands:
Export - Export a OBJ file.
Help - Display the OBJ Export for SpaceClaim help file.
Register - Register your copy of OBJ Export for SpaceClaim.
About - Display the OBJ Export for SpaceClaim About box.
The OBJ File Format
The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the faces that make each polygon.
