Colormap Model Viewer?

I have an arm with an RS3 laser scanner that we use quite a bit. I don't like the reporting feature of the colormap so I've been taking multiple screenshots of a colormapped part from different views and sending those off as first articles. This works fine albeit time consuming so I am thinking there has to be an easier way to view and rotate the colormapped model.

Does anyone know of a 3d viewer I might be able to use in order to send the file off to the engineer and allow them to rotate the part however they want to instead of me taking screenshots of multiple views?

I am able to save any model in Pro-E as a U3d file and open it in Adobe and rotate it but I cannot save the actual colormapped model.

  • Time consuming?

    - import model
    - scan part
    - select / filter / clean
    - align to model
    - generate colormap with annotations

    taking 5-7 screenshots would take me >30 seconds, using Insert > Report Command > Screen Capture. Is that what you're doing?

    PCDMIS doesn't have an external viewer for now. Exporting a model will only export the model, not the PCDMIS object that is a colormap.
