Export Web 3D Format gltF or other with 3D MDB PMI dimensions

SOLIDWORKS

Hello, there is a way to export 3D PMI data in a Web 3D format (gltf or other) from SolidWorks.

3D PDF cannot be displayed inside web browsers.
STEPS need a “conversion” to a 3D web format, adding overhead.

Is it possible?

Thanks, best regarsd

You can download the solidworks augmented reality add-in which adds the ability to save files in the GLTF format.

I think it only works with solidworks 2019 or newer.

Hi, thanks. BUT also PMI info and dimensions are exported?

Thanks, regards Massimo

I cannot confirm that. I think it might be. GLTF files are human readable so it might be a good idea to download the add-in, play around with the settings, export some files and then inspect the exported GLTFs in a text editor.

You will definitely get your answer doing that.

Grazie!

Hi,
you can check this repo. maybe you can also export the pmi data you want by changing the codes. But I think you can add it not in gltf but in threejs-like libraries in caption style. you may need to code with typescript for display.
