At nat, we are conducting integration testing to ensure that data measured using our 3D scanning app, " Scanat," can be utilized more seamlessly in practical applications.
In this update, we’ll explain how to sync data with “Walk in home” and how to extract cross-sectional views (floor plans) from existing models.
◼︎DXF export from Scanat Web
3D data (in DXF format) exported from " Scanat Web" can be imported into "Walk in home. "
Using the image below will significantly improve your efficiency when creating presentations.
◼︎Procedures for Use and Testing
Scanat Web Users:
1. Log in to Scanat: Access the admin panel from your PC.
2. Downloading DXF: Select "DXF" from the measured models to export the file.
3. Launch "Walk in home" and load the file.
*If nothing appears when you open a file, try opening it once in "Jw_cad" or "LibreCAD" and saving it; this will allow you to open the file in Walk in home.
♢For prospective customers: Sample data available
For those who wish to open Scanat files Scanat in "Walk in home" or other CAD software they are currently using to assess their usability, we provide sample DXF files for testing purposes.
Please contact us via the inquiry form on this website and include the message "Request for Walk in home integration sample. "
♢Instructions (Web Version)
1. Going to the Bottom View Creation Screen
In 3D mode or Bird's-eye view mode on the model details screen, click the "Bottom View" button in the upper-right corner of the screen to go to the bottom view creation page.
2. Adding a Cross-Section
Click the "Add Cross-Section" button on the control panel to add a new cross-section. You can then view the cross-section in both the control panel and the model.
*You can add up to four cross-sections per figure below.
3. Generating the cross-sectional view
When you click the "Generate Cross-Sectional View" button in the "Adjust Cross-Section Cut Position" panel, a dialog box titled "Please select a processing method" will appear.
4. Selecting a Processing Method
You can choose from the following two options depending on your needs.
・Clean DXF: A file in which point cloud data has been adjusted to be as straight as possible
・Rough DXF: A DXF file that directly reflects the slicing results
Select one of the options and click the "Start Processing" button to generate the image shown below based on your selection.
