Data Transfer

Describes changes and new features in data transfer.

Improved load times for files with Variants

We improved loading times for files containing many variants with the Variant Lister window open.

Importing/Exporting improvements

• We added a Normalize UV Coordinates option to Export OBJ to support working with Rendering software.

  

• When importing a CATIA file:

  • Alias keeps the shader names and maps to the appropriate geometry.
  • Alias maps the CATIA Object Property Color to the Alias Multi-color Diagnostic Shader Color.

• When importing a subdivision model (File > Import > Subdiv), the model is not translated to NURBS surfaces as it was in previous versions of Alias. Instead, the model keeps its original file state so you can continue modeling in Alias with the new Subdivision modeling toolset.

• New File > Export > Active As Subdiv command.
