Create a 3D markup dataset

You need to create a DirectModel3DMarkup dataset to store 3D markups of structures or assemblies.

Note

You must have at least the Teamcenter lifecycle visualization standard configuration installed to work with 3D markups.

Procedure

  1. Load the structure or assembly (DirectModel dataset) in the viewer. Teamcenter displays the model and the Lifecycle Visualization toolbar.

  2. Click the Create Markup button. Teamcenter displays the Create Markup3D Dataset dialog box.

  3. In the dialog box, type a name for the dataset in the Dataset Name box.

  4. (Optional) Type a description of the dataset.

  5. Click OK.Teamcenter creates the DirectModel3DMarkup dataset and attaches it to the DirectModel dataset. You can create multiple DirectModel3DMarkup datasets under a single structure or assembly. Each DirectModel3DMarkup dataset can contain multiple markup layers. Note Markup layers are stored as VPL files.
