RvmTranslator4.0 Beta Version is Released
eryar@163.com
RvmTranslator4.0 beta version is released! The big change is able to translate RVM to 3D PDF, including the design element hierarchy, color information.
Figure 1. Piping model in AVEVA PDMS
Figure 2. Piping model in Adobe Reader
You can navigate the design element by the assembly tree just like you in PDMS design explorer:
Figure 3. Navigate by the Model Tree
You can add comment for the model, this is often used in the model review:
Figure 4. Add comment to the model
You can measure the distance, radius and angle in the model:
Figure 5. Measure distance in 3D PDF
The 3D PDF file is smaller and can add comment and measure the distance, angle, .etc, so 3D PDF is best suited for the model review workflow for plant design.
The RvmTranslator4.0 Beta version is only translate text RVM to 3D PDF for testing, you can download it from here: RvmTranslator4.0 Beta

感覺你還是建個獨立網站比較好

恩，如果有了自己的公司，獨立的網站還是很有必要！

Hi Eryar
I am impressed with your translator and able to translate the spooler with no problem. However when I tried to convert a few RVM files of mine (around 60MB-70MB), it alsways stop about 5minutes of processing and said RVMTranslator not responding.
Thank you.
With Best Regards
Cwingz

Hi Cwingz,
Thanks for your feedback.
The 4.0 Beta version of RvmTranslator only can translate text RVM to 3D PDF.
And your RVM files are too large for RvmTranslator, especially the binary RVM files. I think you can export smaller RVM file to have a try.
Best Regards,
Shing Liu

Hi Shing Liu
Thank you for your quick response, really appreciate it. Would like to ask if you have any tools/recommendations to segregate the large RVM files (70MB) into smaller portion without exporting?
With Best Regards
Cwing

Hello Cwing,
Sorry, I have no tools to split RVM files.
You can export smaller RVM files from PDMS, such as a RVM file only include one SITE or ZONE.
Best Regards,
Shing Liu

Is it possible to output model in PDF with different colors (based on RVM)?

Hi me_hungry,
Yes, it is possible to set model color in PDF by RVM files.
The RVM contains color info.

我轉換一個28M的rvm到obj，看提示，前面轉換都成功，但在寫入obj文件時可能出錯，有obj文件，但只有文件頭，沒有實際內容。

Hi,
你好！
你轉換成STL試過沒？

試了一下轉換stl，文件可以生成，有1.3G。但使用Navisworks2013無法打開，提示版本號未知。
手頭的測試工具使用的是obj格式，如果能轉換就好了。
之前用的各種曲線救國方式，轉換后的obj有555m，希望從rvm直接轉換的能小一些。
找了兩個較小的文件測試，都可以成功，但結果文件比我之前轉換的還要大很多。原始rvm有1.37M，轉換后99.8M，我之前轉換是64.2M。從文件行數來看，也是原來的2倍多。
另外，丟失了對象的命名和層次結構。

Hi ssj,
你好！
目前RvmTranslator生成的OBJ文件中是沒有對象命名和層次結構信息。
你的OBJ文件是準備用在unity3d中么？

Hi do you know of a way to subdivide the .rvm when I export it from PDMS without manually selecting each section? I currently have a zone file that exports to be around 300mb as a text file and the translator bugs out. I have done some smaller files with sucess but some of them keeps on telling me that my .rvm file is faulty (when I export as binary) or that the translator quits in a bad mannor (when translating as a text).
Kind Regards

Hi Hkrugertijie,
I do not know the way to subdivide rvm file except manually select them. That is a known problem of RvmTranslator to export so big rvm file.
RvmTranslator4.0 now only can export text rvm file to 3D PDF, the binary rvm is not supported.
Best Regards,
Shing Liu

Thanks for the response, I will try and write a macro to automate the output from pdms (my programming skills is not at your level though). A suggestion for the next update might be to allow your program to do a series of files and export them one by one. Currently I am exporting frol PDMS to Solidworks and your converter absolutely does the trick with the IGES format. The only issue is that it takes forever to do 100 smaller files given that even solidworks is having a problem processing large files.
Kind Regards

You are welcome!
Kudos for your PML macro skills.
Current version have this functionality to translate multiple files one by one.
Yes, solidworks have problem for larges files. For solidworks I think it also support STEP files.

I have managed to get the PDMS macro running, meaning that I can split my file into as many levels as I want to it goes from
Level 1: 1 file
Level 2: 22 files
Level 3: 62 Files
Level 4: 925 Files
however I need to translate these files in an automated way, either by looping through it, since clicking 925 times will make my finger quite numb, is there a way to do this?
Regards

Wonderful!
Of course, there is an automated way, that is use RvmTranslator in the Batch File, such as the RvmTranslator.bat does.
You can generate a XXX.bat file to run RvmTranslator, just give two parameters: Rvm file name(include path) and translator Type(STEP, IGES, STL, etc). You can write the batch file like this:
RvmTranslator "1.rvm" "STEP"
RvmTranslator "2.rvm" "STEP"
RvmTranslator "3.rvm" "STEP"
...
then run the XXX.bat.
Enjoy!

I managed to write a loop and edit your batch file.
Thanks a million for the help.

Is it possible to ask you to email me the conversation tables that you used originally for the RMV translator for the IGES format? I would highly appreciate that.

Hi,
Thanks for great tool!
Please can you update you form to add TEXT option for export Text RVM (as it's required for your tool):
EXPORT FILE /$!aRvmFile TEXT
At current moment using your form PDMS export binary RVM which can't be converted by RVMConverter (but hope it will be possible in future).
Best regards,
Roman

Hi Roman,
A good suggestion!
I have add a option to select the export RVM file format, you can have a try. Download RvmTranslator4.2 from here:

Hi Shing Lui,
Thanks for updates! You added menu for selecting binary or text rvm. Can RVMT translate binary rvm now?
RMVConverter - my mistake. I mean RVMTranslator:)
Is it possible to translate colors of 3d model into PDF? Or may be just add option to your utility to load file with color rules? After converting model is dark and required to be colored before using. If it possible to transfer colors into 3d PDF automatically it will be big advantage.
In any case thanks for your efforts!
Roman

Hi Roman,
Yes, RvmTranslator can translate binary RVM.
Yes, it is possible to translate color of 3d model into PDF.
I will check this. I found there are not many person use
the 3D PDF.

Hi Shing Lui,
Translating binary RVM is not working for me. But in any case I can produce TEXT rvm and now it's enough.
Yes, not many people use 3D pdf due to some limitation of size 3d model in pdf. And also it's was not suitable process to get pdf: produce rvm file, open AVEVA Review and save to 3D pdf. It's required to install AVEVA Review for all users or install it on common server and make some additional macros. Long way ...
Using your utility I can convert rvm into pdf w/out running Review. It's more easy and faster.
And also I think designers don't always know about such feature of PDF and CAD admin don't think that it can be useful tool for designers:)
Also I saw Acrobat can load some JavaScript which can add some additional information/notes to 3d. I think it will be useful to exchange by small 3d model with some notes by e-mail to discuss about design.
If you need any help for PML you can use some of my knowledge:)

Hi Roman,
I have checked the binary rvm export, it works.
Yes, I agree with you. The 3D PDF is useful for small model with notes by email or internet to discuss their design.
Yes, Acrobat support JavaScript to define some 3D effect for the model.

Shing Liu
