Description:
OBJ Export for Solid Edge is a Wavefront (.obj) file export add-in for Solid Edge®. This add-in gives Solid Edge the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a Solid Edge part or assembly document to 3d polygon meshes in an OBJ file.

OBJ Export for Solid Edge tessellates solid bodies in a Solid Edge document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to an OBJ file as mesh objects. The OBJ file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

OBJ Export for Solid Edge is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new submenu called "OBJ Export for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge Applications menu.

The 'OBJ Export for Solid Edge' menu consists of the following commands:
# Export - Export meshes to an OBJ file
# Help - Display the OBJ Export for Solid Edge help file
# Register - Register your copy of OBJ Export for Solid Edge
# About - Display the OBJ Export for Solid Edge About box

OBJ Export for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.


The OBJ File Format

The OBJ file format is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package. The file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphics application vendors, making it a universally accepted geometry file format. The OBJ file format is a simple data format that represents 3D geometry alone - namely, the position of each vertex, the texture coordinate associated with a vertex, the normal at each vertex, and the faces that make each polygon.
