Transferring Meshes
SynthEyes uses two types of meshes to help align and check camera matches: mesh primitives, such as spheres, cubes, etc; and tracker meshes, built from the computed 3-D tracker locations. The tracker meshes can be used to model irregular areas, such as a contoured job site into which a model will be inserted. Both types of models can be transferred as follows:
1. In SynthEyes, select the mesh to be exported, by clicking on it or selecting it from the list on the 3-D panel.
2. Select the File/Export/STL Stereolithography export, and save the mesh to a file.
3. In MicroStation, select File/Import STL and select the file written in step 2. You can use the default settings.
4. Meshes will be placed in MicroStation at the same location as in SynthEyes.
5. You can bring up its Element/Information and assign it a material.
