Description:

Tutorial Level:

General Information

This tutorial shows you how you can create a map for naviagtion and an map for simulation using Solidworks.

Prepare 3D Part

Camera View

camera menu

camera view

Note: alway keep the box "kamera sperren" checked, otherwise you might rotate the camera instead of rotating the part

Note: adjusting the camera settings will not be neccesary in most cases, it is only neccessary if your map is bigger than the 100x100 meter map in the template

Execute Rendering

rendering tool

Note: adjusting the resolution or other settings for the rendering is only neccessary if you have adjusted the camera previously

rendering settings

end rendering

Save Stl-file

The map template includes an additional coordinate system. If you do not need a special position for the origin of the coordinate system in your stl-file you don't have to do anything here.

Additional Drawing

Usually it is very helpful to create a drawing or screeshot that shows (you and especially your colleagues) where the additional coordinate system is located in reference to the corene of the bmp-file. The drawing should also show the distance between the corner of the bmp-file and some characteristic spot in the map.
