Prepare RVM geometry for USD / USDZ
The RVM-to-USD / USDZ route uses the RVM reader, mesh preparation and the USD / USDZ writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.
Read the AVEVA PDMS Review Model with the RVM interface. Select the plant areas, equipment or geometry needed by the destination rather than exporting unrelated portions of a large review model.
Prepare a USD scene from the imported geometry
Prepare polygonal output from the imported geometry, retaining suitable meshes or tessellating supported surfaces. Check model placements and coordinate scale before merging parts or constructing a destination scene.
Write USD, USDZ or USDA through the USD component. Map supported names, part placements and appearance into the scene. The component supports meshes, primitives, metadata, materials and animations, but this conversion can preserve only data actually available from the source or explicitly authored by the application.
Validate the converted model
Include small fittings and curved equipment as well as large structures in the comparison. Keep plant identifiers and engineering properties separately when the target cannot represent them.
Reopen the scene in the receiving USD application. Compare axis conventions, unit scale, hierarchy, repeated parts and material assignments. Review external resources or packaging for the chosen output variant; the retained CAD source remains the reference for precise modeling.
For repeated jobs, retain the source, preparation settings and representative output checks. Discuss this conversion with the input files, destination application and required geometry and attributes.
