You must use the Custom Commands Command to add the Model Data Reuse Validation tool to Project Management.

The Model Data Reuse (MDR) Validation tool helps you analyze the results of any model data reuse, synchronization, upgrade, conversion, or modification operations within the same or between similar data sets. For example, you can use this utility on a session file to compare changes made to objects from one day to the next. For model data reuse or other migration-type operations occurring across two session files, you are able to review differences and resolve any unexpected changes.

The utility checks the designated source and destination dataset for changes in the following three areas:

  • Data changes

  • Position changes

  • Orientation changes

  • Content changes

The utility provides the resulting differences in a View Results dialog as well as within Smart 3D graphic views. As you analyze the differences, you can use options in the utility that work interactively with commands in Smart 3D to help resolve unexpected changes. Within source and destination graphic views, you can highlight and fit to a selected object to visualize graphically any size, position, or orientation changes. The differences in a graphic view are displayed by a color-coding scheme defined by the utility.

Object List or Model Data Reuse Log File Analysis

When using this utility, you can choose between two basic methods for data comparison. You can analyze the results of a model data reuse operation using the generated log file or use an object list file to look only at specific objects. After you have data generated for your source and destination datasets, you can run the utility at any time as you do your work.

General Workflow

After you load the MDR Validation tool into Smart 3D, the basic workflow is:

  1. Generate data for validation.

  2. Process the generated data.

  3. Review results.

  4. Generate reports.
