change the objects in self modeled objects

Hello to all,

I wanted to ask if somebody can tell me, how I can change the obejects for example "the transporter" into my own modeled models. How can I transfer my own objects into the software???

I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.


P.S: sorry for my bad english


kind regards

Manuel

Manuel,

Do you want the objects in Flexsim only look different or do also behave different?

Hello Steven,

I only want to change the look of the objects ...for example a transporter (forklift) should look like a automated guided vehicle.


I hope you can help me.


kind regards

Manuel,

Go to the properties of an object, to the visual page and at the 3d shape edit field select a different 3D object. This can be in the formats: vrml1, 3ds, stl or dxf

On the website in the download section of the forum you can find a lot of files and also on the internet.

Further if you want to have an agv, better use the operator then the forklift truck because the operator doesn't have any forks drawn.

Manuel,

Check out AC3D. It has a special vrml1 export option for Flexsim. Is not expensive and can do an awful lot.

Hello Steven,

now I have a .dxf implemented into the flexsim software, but I cant see my object. Can you give me an advice how I can change it to see it in flexsim?

Thanks in advance

kind regards

Manuel,

dxf files are usually only used as background drawings. To find more information look at this post: http://www.flexsim.com/community/for...ighlight=scale

So for objects I would use the vrml1 (.wrl files) and if you search in this forum I'm pretty sure you can find some tips. The most important is to scale it back to 1 by 1 by 1 in the tool you created in and set it at 0.5, 0.5 , 0.5 before importing. Otherwise look at the offset parameters.
