3DM Export for SpaceClaim

3DM Export for SpaceClaim is a Rhinoceros/OpenNURBS (.3dm) file export add-in for SpaceClaim. This add-in gives SpaceClaim the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a SpaceClaim part or Assembly document to 3d polygon meshes in a 3DM file. SpaceClaim already has the ability to export to 3DM files. Solid objects in SpaceClaim are converted into solid objects in 3DM files. SpaceClaim does not offer an option to convert solids into polygon meshes in a 3DM file. The 3DM file format is an open format used by many applications to store polygon mesh data, such as TerrainCAD, our terrain mesh modeling software. Such applications have no use for solid data in 3DM files. 3DM Export for SpaceClaim gives SpaceClaim the ability to exchange data with such applications. It tessellates solid bodies in a SpaceClaim document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a 3DM file as mesh objects. The 3DM file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications. 3DM Export for SpaceClaim is very easy to use. It adds new commands to SpaceClaim. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into SpaceClaim and adds a new ribbon bar to SpaceClaim called "3DMExport" containing the newly added commands.
