Prepare XPDMXML geometry for FBX
The XPDMXML-to-FBX route uses the XPDMXML reader, mesh preparation and the FBX writer. Choose the geometry and representation required by the destination application.
Read the XPDMXML product data through its interface and resolve the geometry required by the selected model items. Keep referenced model resources available; product structure without its geometric content cannot supply an export mesh.
Prepare mesh geometry for FBX delivery
Prepare meshes for the resolved shapes, keeping part occurrences and their placements consistent. Use suitable source meshes directly or tessellate BRep surfaces at the required detail.
Write the selected mesh geometry with the commercial FBX interface. Prepare the supported scene and placement mapping required by the receiving application. Check appearance and other attributes individually rather than assuming all source properties have an FBX writer mapping.
Validate the converted model
Check geometry completeness and reference resolution before judging the output. Product identifiers, revisions and other management data need an explicit destination mapping or a separate retained record.
Reopen the FBX in the destination and compare scale, orientation, geometry coverage and placements. Verify the actual version and property mapping needed by that application. Retain the engineering source for information that the scene derivative cannot carry.
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.
