ViewPoints

Specifies which view points to be included in the template set. The “All” specifier covers the most general case for searching arbitrary models in all orientations. The “~RotationSymmetric” specifiers allow to speed up the search for rotation symmetric CAD models. The remaining axis/direction specifies allow you to restrict the search to certain orientations, e.g. for flat parts, which will always lay on a specific side.

String

View point specifier.

View point specifiers

“All”

Generate templates from all possible views onto the given CAD model.

“XRotationSymmetric”

Assume the model is rotation symmetric around its X axis and reduce view templates accordingly.

“YRotationSymmetric”

Assume the model is rotation symmetric around its Y axis and reduce view templates accordingly.

“ZRotationSymmetric”

Assume the model is rotation symmetric around its Z axis and reduce view templates accordingly.

“XPositive”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the positive side of the model’s X axis.

“XNegative”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the negative side of the model’s X axis.

“X”

Restrict views to the union of the XPositive and XNegative views.

“YPositive”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the positive side of the model’s Y axis.

“YNegative”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the negative side of the model’s Y axis.

“Y”

Restrict views to the union of the YPositive and YNegative views.

“ZPositive”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the positive side of the model’s Z axis.

“ZNegative”

Restrict view points to views in a 45 degree cone around the negative side of the model’s Z axis.

“Z”

Restrict views to the union of the ZPositive and ZNegative views.

Default

“All”
