  1. In the Project Management tree, select the Reference 3D model to modify.

  2. Click Properties Command to open the Reference 3D Model Properties Dialog.

  3. Modify the required properties.

    • If the Reference 3D model shows as Out of Date (such as when an attached file is updated or an R3D schema version is increased), or if changes that do not trigger an Out of Date notification occur (such as adding new files into folders or removing files), you must reimport the R3D model data by clicking Update. If you change the mapping, use the second option to force the update of all Reference 3D models.

    • When you make transformation changes to a Smart Model .zvf file from the Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher application, the Out of Date status does not display. To see transformation changes made in Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher, select the Reference 3D model in the Project Management tree, open the Properties dialog in Smart 3D, and then click Apply. The software refreshes transformation values and displays the current changes.

  4. If you changed the Reference 3D schema or updated, added, or removed the .zvf files, click Reference 3D Model data has been updated... (files added, removed, or modified).

    If there were no indicated changes but an import of the R3D data is necessary, click Force Update all Reference Files (Including those not modified).

    The software rescans all subfolders listed in the path. It then updates, adds, or removes individual .vue files within the File Path, and then reimports the modified data or added files.

    • If you modify the .zvf file which was already attached, the Out of date reference 3D model notification displays in the Reference 3D hierarchy. The software processes new files along with modified ones, and then updates data.

    • You can use Force Update all Reference Files when, for example, the mapping file was modified or the data file was alternated without updating the corresponding graphic file(s).

  5. Optionally, assign a permission group that applies to the Reference 3D model at the object level.

    For global workshare operations:

    • Assignment at host: If you create a Reference 3D model at the host location, you can assign a permission group to the model which can belong to the host or any of the satellites.

      • If you assign a permission group to a Reference 3D model created at the host that belongs to the host location itself, only users at the host location with sufficient access permissions can modify objects in the model.

      • If you assign a permission group to a model created at the host that belongs to a satellite location, only the users at that satellite location with sufficient access permissions can modify the Reference 3D model objects.

    • Assignment at satellite: If you create a Reference 3D model at a satellite location, only the permission groups that belong to that satellite location can be assigned. A permission group that belongs to the host or to other satellite locations cannot be assigned to a Reference 3D model created at that satellite location.

  6. Click Apply or OK to apply the changes.

    The software examines the Reference 3D and the CustomReference3D schema packages to see if they require updating. The process of updating the schema packages can take several minutes, so an informational progress form displays during this time.

    If you are using a Smart Model from Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher as your Reference 3D model, any changes to transformation settings made in the Intergraph Smart Interop Publisher application automatically display when you click Apply in the Properties dialog.

  7. Click Yes to confirm that the schema packages must be updated.

    Updating the schema packages causes other Reference 3D models attached to any Smart 3D models that use the same catalog database to be out of date. A Reference 3D model can also become out-of-date if any of the input files in the Reference 3D folder are updated. The following example shows the icon that displays in the Project Management tree viewtree for an out-of-date Reference 3D model:

    The software reads the files containing Reference 3D data, and populates the model database. If any data files are missing, the Reference 3D Model dialog displays. Click Yes to continue loading.
