To Set a Spatial Target
You can set a spatial target in your model for an augmented CAD object. The spatial target defines the position of the augmented CAD object when you publish the model and use an augmented reality viewing device.
1. In an open model, click Tools > Target > Spatial Target. The Spatial Target tab opens.
2. Use one of the following Placement Type options to place the ThingMark:
Standard Plane (default)—Places the Spatial Target on one of the 6 default standard environment planes.
Custom Plane—Places the Spatial Target on any planar reference such as a surface, plane, or quilt.
Advanced—Places the Spatial Target using placement constraints.
3. To hide or show the dragger, click . You can use the dragger to translate the Spatial Target.
4. Click . The spatial placement feature is added to the Augmented Reality folder in the Footer folder of the Model Tree.
Standard Plane
1. Click Standard Plane.
2. To change the default plane Bottom, choose a different plane from the list.
3. To change the distance from the model, use one of the following methods:
Type a new distance in the Distance box.
Use the dragger in the Graphics Window.
Double-click the number in the Graphics Window, type a number in the box, and press ENTER.
Custom Plane
1. Click Custom Plane.
2. Select a planar reference such as a a surface, plane, or quilt.
3. To select side references, use the dragger in the Graphics Window or click Placement and follow the steps below. Valid references are linear edges coplanar to the primary placement surface or datum planes and planar surfaces perpendicular to it.
a. Click the Side ref1 collector and select a side reference on the model. To offset the Spatial Target from the selected side, type a number in the box and press ENTER.
b. Click the Side ref2 collector and select a second side reference on the model. To offset the Spatial Target from the selected side, type a number in the box and press ENTER.
Advanced
Use this option for advanced placement options.
1. Click Advanced.
2. To place the Spatial Target using an interface, leave the default selected. You can use Interface To Geom or Interface To Interface placement.
3. To place the Spatial Target using available constraints, click .
4. Select constraint references. For more placement options, open the Placement tab.
5. Once a constraint set has been defined, a new constraint is automatically activated, until the Spatial Target is fully constrained.
