Bentley's new Scaleable Reality Meshes *.3sm

Adam,

Scalable Mesh will be supported in the upcoming MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 6 release.

Currently, I believe that the only commercially released product that supports Scalable Mesh is LumenRT.

Hi，
Pascal,Can you tell me that when MicroStation CONNECT Edition Update 6 will release.

Thanks

Thanks.

Is there a way to create 3SM out of STM (scalable terrain model) with draped imaginary? Basically I have a terrain model created from lidar data. Would like to export that terrain model to LumenRT. It looks that with 3SM I would get good better looking terrain than with dc drape and will avoid issues with STM exzports (only visible part of STM is exported).

Thanks.

Hi Adam,

You can create a 3SM from a STM but only the mesh in the STM will be import (i.e. : you will lose the texture).

Alternatively you can import the STM and the raster data or import the original LIDAR data and the raster data, with both you will be able to create a 3SM that should contain the same data as your STM.

HTH,

Mathieu
