STEP 1 - Import a Solid Model or Manually Enter Part Data in VTube

You can enter centerline coordinates, bender data, or import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP model of a tube.

Some imports require further processing before you output to Supravision. For example, you need to use the collect process on STEP and IGES models - which is like measuring the tube with a mouse. Then you can calculate the centerline coordinates.

Before you can export Supravison data, you must have data in the Tube Data menu describing the tube shape.

About Supravision Files

Supravision files usually have a filename extension of $$$.

They are text files that contain part setup, XYZ, and LRA data usually.

They were used by Supravision software to save and load Supravision project files - so they contain a lot of data that VTube understands.

(Supravision software was retired a few years ago by ROMER. It was one of the standards in the industry for decades.)
