http://obj-export-for-solidworks.sycode.qarchive.org OBJ Export for SolidWorks is a Wavefront® OBJ file export add-in for SolidWorks®. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a SolidWorks part and assembly document to meshes in an OBJ file. OBJ Export for SolidWorks tessellates the solid bodies in a SolidWorks part or assembly document into individual triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to an OBJ file as mesh objects. The level of tessellation can be controlled by adjusting the resolution slider in the OBJ Export for SolidWorks options dialog box. A lower resolution will yield coarse meshes (lesser faces), whereas a higher resolution will result in finer meshes (more faces). You can also choose to have the Y Axis point upwards. OBJ Export for SolidWorks is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SolidWorks and adds a new submenu called "OBJExport" to the SolidWorks menu. The 'OBJExport' submenu consists of the following commands: # Export - Export meshes to an OBJ file # Help - Display the OBJ Export for SolidWorks help file # Register - Register your copy of OBJ Export for SolidWorks # About - Display the OBJ Export for SolidWorks About box OBJ Export for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time. 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. QArchive.org RSS Generator http://obj-export-for-solidworks.sycode.qarchive.org/#4 This is for solidworks 2007, not working with version 2008. 28 Thu 2008 http://obj-export-for-solidworks.sycode.qarchive.org/#3 I can not really review this add-in to SolidWorks because, when I tried to save a file as a wavefront file, it asked for a registration key, which I was never provided with. I therefore have no idea if the software works. 30 Sun 2007 http://obj-export-for-solidworks.sycode.qarchive.org/#2 After all the work, the output file was useless. 25 Mon 2007 http://obj-export-for-solidworks.sycode.qarchive.org/#1 I download the free version from your web site to try out the software, when use, it require register name which do not include from download, so I can not try it.
