Augmented Reality

Hi guys,   it's me again. I almost finished my AR-project. Thanks for all the help.   Maybe you can help me with my last problem to finish my project. I want to add different users and user groups wth own log ins which has different permissions. I tried to use the PTC help but i don't get it how user management works. I attached a screenshot of the different user groups and permissions. Maybe you can help me how to manage these. Thanks for your help again.   Best regards Marco

I have already applied TML Text to model items and it works fine. I have used 'shader' property on model items to get a less opaque color effect. I wanted to apply the shader effect on an entire model containing sequences or figures from creo illustrate 

How to use the hardware Up and Down Volume buttons in an iPad (OS13) as Prev and Next buttons using JS or AngularJS only? Any ideas welcome! Note: users wear gloves all the time so removing gloves just to click the UI Next/Prev buttons on the screen defeats the purpose or if the use their globes they damage the screen (HoloLens are not affordable yet 😞 )

Hi there,   It used to work fine to preview Section created in Illustrate Sequence with Vuforia Studio. But not it's broken, still visible on devices.   How to fix it?   Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to know how far the model is placed from us? For eg. when I scan a object using model target and my model is superimposed over that object. Now I want to know how far am i standing from that object. And when I move around the distance shown should also change.   Any support or suggestion how it can be achieved will be very helpful.

How can I change the background colour of a tab header? (Tab 1, Tab 2, Tab 3 in the image)   'color' has no effect and 'background-color' changes the background of the Tab contents below, not the Tab header.  

I have added dynamic svg element (below is the code) and now wanted to access circle element by id to update its css.   // Circle Newxmlsrc_in = '<circle id="bar" r="30" cx="100" cy="100" transition="stroke-dashoffset 1s linear" stroke="green" stroke-width="1em" fill="transparent" stroke-dasharray="565.48" stroke-dashoffset="0"></circle>' xmlsrc=xmlsrc+'<svg class="svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="200" width="200" viewPort="0 0 100 100" version="1.1">\n'xmlsrc=xmlsrc+ xmlsrc_inxmlsrc=xmlsrc+'</svg>'   Can someone tell me how could I access circle element by id/class etc (bar) in javascript function?  

In vuforia studio to view the AR cad you need a camera with a target to place the cad. Is there a way to display the cad on a plain background rather than on a camera image? I have noticed other apps made with unity display the cad model on a plain background on a fixed point a bit like when viewing the cad in creo view. I want a app page displaying cad but without using the camera image.   thanks in advance   dave

Hi all,    I have a several users that are in the developer group so that they are able to publish to the connected ES.    Along with this, it was my intention that they be able to create, edit, etc entities without giving them admin privileges.    However, they are totally unable to edit, view, or create entities, even within projects to which they belong.    Any thoughts on how to update those permissions?   I want the users to be able to able to create/edit/view entities within their projects without having everyone be an administrator.    This is a cloud portal thingworx instance on 8.4.1

Hi, I cannot connect to Experience Service on my mobile.    I've installed Experience Service on Premise with no SSL and not registered in the GXI. I can set and validated Experience Service in thingworx studio Info. Also can preview and can call services of things that I made in thingworx core.    After I published this project and check with mobile connected to same network, the experience doesn't load. I have set the exact same URL for Experience Service as I set in thingworx studio. Then I check with chrome in mobile with ping to Experience Service (https://xxx:2019/ExperienceService/ping), got errorcode. I am able to access ThingWorx core installed on same machine from mobile but not experience service.  

Hi there   I'm trying to use Javascript switch statement to feed instruction to Label/ValueDisplay widgets. But somehow I couldn't get the correct currentStep from my model via Javascript.   var  crntStep = 0;$scope.updateInst = function(){    crntStep = $scope.view.wdg['model'].currentStep;  $scope.view.wdg['valueDisplay'].label = 'current sequence: ' + $scope.view.wdg['select'].value;  $scope.$watch("view.wdg['model'].sequence", function(seq){    switch(seq){      case 'l-Creo 3D - seq-1.pvi':        switch(crntStep){          case 1:            $scope.view.wdg['valueDisplay'].value = 'STEP 1/3 of seq-1';            break;        &nbs

how can i use pvroptimizer.exe to compress pvz files outside Vuforia Studio. The reason is to compress the pvz before I can work them in the Studio environment.   Thnx @Giuseppe_Fiore   

Hi folks-- Creo Illustrate 6.1 offers a new feature that allows you to attach a decal graphic onto a part, so that it moves with the part like a texture. I'm currently using Creo for decals and textures, but it would be a lot easier if I could do this in Creo Illustrate instead. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the current Vuforia Studio supports these decals. When I create an illustration/sequence with a decal and publish to PVZ, and then load it into Studio, the decal is not visible. Does anyone from PTC have and information on when this will be supported in Studio? @RolandRaytchev @sdidier  Thanks!

(view in My Videos)I have members of the Developers group in the ThingWorx Platform connected to the ES that are able to sign in to platform, however, they are unable to validate via the ES with their credentials, nor are they able to publish unless I add them to my administrator's group.    I do not want them to have admin access, but DO want them to be able to publish experiences.    Any help is appreciated.    Best, Alexander 

Hi,   I would like to show a popup window with javascript. How can I do that?    $scope.Motor = function () { $scope.view.wdg['popup-1'].show = 'true';        ???};   Many Thanks Janos

We are trying to create some method for which to track the location from which a user access our Vuforia Experience Service to try and reduce unauthorized access. I found in the $scope.device.location a function called getCurrentLocation(), which when called updates the $scope.device.location.lastLocation values. Testing on the preview it works exactly as expected, however on mobile it does not. I suspect this is because I was able to allow location on my browser however, since the View App does not have a request to allow access to location built into it a mobile does not produce a location and there is no where to force it in the phones permissions settings because again the View app does not have the provisions for it by default.   I'm wondering if there is a way to trigger this permission request from the experience itself (both on iOS and Android) or some other method for which to get the GPS Lat and Long (perhaps even just IP address) of the device which a user is accessing

Hello there,   is it possible to create an submenu in the header button? Any response is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I am testing a time series chart. Normally, hide the chart and click the 3D image to display the chart. When displaying a chart, the following message appears. "Data is not loaded yet"  I set the chart in the following order.   Sorry. I didn't check the getting start guide. The trial confirmed that only the "getpropertyvalue" service is available. If I use the paid version rather than trial, can I use the time series chart if I follow the procedure above?

 I am playing sequence on one button ,after playing  if i am switching to another button to show my bom at that time my sequence model is still showing .   i want to deactivate the sequnce . 

I am using tml3dRenderer.GetObject($scope.currentSelection).GetWidget().GetLocation().position.x to get x coordinate of a selected model item on click of a button. This piece of code works in preview mode but in Ipad it throws "GetObject()" method not found. Is this an issue with vuforia view or with ipad? Any other workaround for them? My code is as below -    var xPos; var yPos; var zPos; if (twx.app.isPreview() == true) {tml3dRenderer.setColor($scope.currentSelection, PICK_COLOR);xPos.push(parseFloat(tml3dRenderer.GetObject(partId[i].modelItem).GetWidget().GetLocation().position.x));yPos.push(parseFloat(tml3dRenderer.GetObject(partId[i].modelItem).GetWidget().GetLocation().position.y));zPos.push(parseFloat(tml3dRenderer.GetObject(partId[i].modelItem).GetWidget().GetLocation().position.z));}}else {tml3dRenderer.setColor($scope.currentSelection, PICK_COLOR);xPos.push(parseFloat(vuforia.GetObject($scope.currentSelection).GetWidget().GetLocation().position.x));yPos.push(parseF

We have some models that we're trying to do object recognition with the model target widget. The object though is very parallel, flat, and fairly un-interesting other than a handful of holes cut into it. With it being such a simple model, it tends to track onto the wrong area, or even other things in the environment that are parallel. (we're trying to avoid using a magnetic ThingMark or Image Targets in this scenario)   What we'd like to do, is keep the outline image up (I could re-produce that part if necessary), but not actually start the model target scanning until a button has been pressed once the user has lined up the outline. The thought being that it's more likely to latch onto the correct placement if it's already aligned once scanning starts.   One option, would be to create the model target on the fly in code. Though I haven't been able to find any examples of doing that. Second option, would be functionality on the Model Target Widget that turns the tracking scann

First of all I would like to thank the community for continuous support. Returning to the question:- When I place a 2D widget in the left panel at a particular place then I am not able to place any other 2D widget at the same location. I searched the community an found little piece of info about it from this thread : https://community.ptc.com/t5/Vuforia-Studio/Hide-2D-overlapping-elements-during-desing-time/m-p/642128#M7304   But even after using that i was just able to hide the widgets from that place only during design time.   Is there any proper solution to this? It would be of great help if someone could attach a sample project which could help to rectify the problem.

I got to know that flow in pipe can be shown by shaders using TML text widget. But i have no idea how to do that. It will be of great help if anyone could attach a sample project or can tell step by step procedure.   Regards Vivek 

Hi,   We want to create AR experience automatic so is it possible? if yes then how? i.e. if we create one template it includes target information and 3D model. its a basic use case to just import 3D model and display on device view app.   So we want to make this process as automatic so designers work is to only see the experience and not to create experience.   So pls can you let me know, how we can achieve this? through any API or other method.   Regards, Prashant Pandarkar Pune
