Send to VRED

Geometry Output

Send either All geometry or Selected geometry to VRED.

Open New Scene

Opens a new scene and inserts the Alias geometry into it.

If this option is not selected the Alias geometry is imported into the current scene.

VRED Base CAD Options

Keep Surface Data

Keep NURBS data.

Merge Geometries

Merge the geometry to be imported to VRED.

Chord Deviation

Set the distance from the midpoint of a tessellated edge to the geometry.

Normal Tolerance

Set the allowed normal deviation between the normals on the ends of a tessellated edge.

Max Chord Length

Set the maximum length of a tessellated edge.

Enable Stitching

Enable the stitching of adjacent edges.

Stitching Tolerance

Set the tolerance where two adjacent edges are considered to be touching and where they should be stitched together.

1. In Alias, unify all the surface normals to face the camera (Surface Edit > Orientation > Set Visual Surface Orientation). Set Visual normals rather than Geometric normals to avoid disturbing the history of the model.

2. Choose File > Send to VRED > .

3. Set the appropriate options in the option box and click Go.

   VRED launches (if not already open) and the data is automatically imported and displayed.
