Loading the 3D model
MegaCut 3D is not used to prepare 3D models. These should be prepared in suitable 3D graphics
software. For more information on supported format and drawing requirements, please see the
following sections.
There are three ways to open a 3D model:
–
select Model – Open
[CTRL+O]
–
double click on the black preview section
–
CTRL+O
Depending on the model dimensions and resolution (file size), the file should open within 5-15
seconds. Once it loads, you can view it in various ways: rotate it with the right click, move with the
left click, zoom in and out (mouse roll or CTRL + right click). To go to the initial view, select
Model – Restore original view.
To preview information about the model, such as dimensions and file size, you can go to Model
– Properties or you can double click on the model path name right above the model. Before you
start any cutting, make sure the model size corresponds to the material dimensions. Also, double
check whether any parts of the model are not below the Z axis, as such parts will not be cut. If any
part of the model extends downwards below the Z axis, the Z axis min. value on the properties
window will be negative.
