(3d) importing .IGES/ .STP indirectly into PS extended

Hi all,
We have a client who can export the 3D file formats for IGS and Step files and know that Photoshop doesnt inherantly support these 3D formats.
Does anyone know a conversion process so we can use those files in PS12 (CS5) Extended? I know PS ext only imports .3DS, .KMZ, .DAE, .U3D, .OBJ but if I can find a way to run the clients files though a (preferably free & short) conversion process, we might be able to use them.
Thanks for any help.

(preferably free & short)
That's not even remotely funny... CAD conversion in itself is a black art and I'm afraid even trying this in PS is more than a bit blue-eyed. Let me be candid: Most truly free converters won't give you what you need because specific translations require specific commercial code libraries (SolidEdge core and that sort of thing) or are based on proprietary formats that also require licensing. Using trials therefore does not really solve the problem forever. That aside, using Rhino, MoI or Deep Exploration may give you the geometry, but not necessarily something you can work with in PS. There will be tons of loose assemblies, isolated polygon groups and there will be a lot of garbage from extranuous CAD entities or soem items will not be correctly converted (holes, flipped normals and whatnot). So ultimately, you cannot avoid learning a proper 3D program to clean up the geometry and all that. That is, if this is more than a one off job...

  • I'm getting a 'The Management Pack element is not declared' error when trying to import CSV data into my *extended* WindowsComputer class

    Background:
    I have a class called SUS_WindowsComputerMP, that is an extension of the Microsoft class, Microsoft.Windows.Computer
    I'm trying to import CSV data into this extended class and to the base class as well.
    Question:
    What am I doing wrong? I have a feeling that the Import CSV Format file is different for importing data into *extended* classes like mine, because the XML structure below would work for non-extended classes.

  • Can I separate a 6-track music bed in STP library into discrete tracks?

    Some of the 'music beds' found in SoundTrack Pro have 6 tracks. I have imported them into a FCP project and they appear on 6 discrete tracks. I find myself mixing them in FCP, bit this is sluggish. Afterall, I bought Sountrack Pro and would like to use it for this purpose. But when I drag a music bed file from the STP library into a STP Multi-track project, all 6 tracks go into one track. Is there a way to get them to separate into discrete tracks in STP, as they do in FCP?
    Thanks very much, Bob

    Try holding down the option key as you drag the file into the timeline.

  • Unable to import video from camcorder into iMovie HD

    I am using a Mac mini PowerPC G4 (1.5). I recently bought a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD 106E camcorder that uses DVD discs. The camcorder has no Firewire (iLink) output so I have inserted the DVD into my external DVD writer/player. I can play the footage via the Mac Mini's DVD player software but I cannot import the video clips into iMovie HD.
    The icons on the DVD appear to be PC files and are not compatible. Does anyone know how I can take off the footage I have shot and get it into iMovie HD, please?
    My secondary thought is that maybe I need to be able to convert the footage clips into Quicktime files, maybe, but I don't know how to go about this, if, indeed, that is the solution.
    Please, please help
    regards, Huguenot

    Your camcorder is incompatible with iMovie 5, which is designed to use DV streams from tape, imported via firewire.
    If your camcorder uses DVD disks it likely produces files in mpeg2 format, which is the standard, compressed, final delivery format of a DVD and is not intended for further editing, and cannot be imported into iMovie 5.
    I am a bit puzzled as to why you chose that camcorder!
    Ideally you should take it back and exchange it for a camcorder that records onto mini DV tape and which has a firewire output.
    As it is, firstly you cannot import the footage due to lack of firewire. Secondly, in order to use iMovie at all you will have to convert the mpeg2 files into a DV files which is what iMovie uses.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    But any way you do it, there will be penalty in terms of quality.

  • How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate?

    How do I include a drop shadow effect when I import an Illustrator vector into Edge Animate? It should be noted that I also have another effect (an extrude & bevel) applied which does copy over when I paste (or create an SVG and import) into Edge Animate. Any thoughts on why the drop shadow disappears but the extrude & bevel carries over?

    Which version of Illustrator are you using?
    In earlier versions of Illustrator it is not that easy to apply drop shadows with spot colours.
    Another reason why it's always important to tell which version of AI … well …

  • Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

    Hi
    b Summary of problem:
    *I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
    *I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
    *I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
    b HOWEVER...
    *I can edit same footage in PRE7
    *This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
    *I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
    *Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
    *PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
    *OS: Vista 64 bit
    b Detail:
    I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
    Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
    But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
    i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
    Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
    i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
    To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
    HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
    Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
    Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
    NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
    Please someone help before I lose the plot.
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Hi
    I'd just like to add an update to this post.
    b Summary:
    *K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
    *Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
    *You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
    b Detail:
    As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
    Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
    Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
    To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
    If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
    *Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
    *Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
    *Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
    Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
    I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

    Thanks for your advise.
    However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users  One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
    Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
    As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
    Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

  • I was running Firefox on another computer that lost it's motherboard, was able to salvage the harddrive, but my mail files on the older hard drive have a different name, how can I pull or import those older files into firefox running on another computer?

    I had been running other email clients for years and finally switched to Firefox. All the while importing my other email folders. So I had quite a large history of email. I had been backing up my system using Acronis for years. My desktop's motherboard crashed and was not worth repairing. I pulled my desktop hard drive and turned it in a standalone drive. I re-established my email on a laptop starting from scratch using Firefox. I would like to import (if possible) the emails history that is stored on the standalone drive (formerly my old hard drive). However, the names of the mail folders on the drives are different. For example: current computer the mail folder is named garlic.com. On the standalone drive (old hard drive) there are several folders and they are named, for instance; mail.garlic.com, mail.garlic-1.com , and so forth. it goes up through garlic-4.com.
    How can I pull or import these older folders into my current email folder and see all my old email archives?

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

    Use XSU to store in multiple tables.

You can store XML across tables, however, by using the Oracle XSLT processor to transform a document into multiple documents and inserting them separately. You can also define views over multiple tables and perform insertions into the views. If a view is non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to perform the inserts."
