Export Smoothed 3D

When the task is run, it will export the given drive3D file with Normal Smoothing enabled.

This task can run in two modes:

  • Preview Control

    Select the 3D Preview Control from the Preview Control Name property to export a smoothed 3D file of the current scene.

  • Source File

    Enter a path to a drive3D file in the Source File Path property to export a smoothed 3D file of an existing scene.

The Preview Control Name property will take priority over the Source File Path if both properties are set.
