In this article  I want to consider the question how to   define a  TWX service, which could create   a  Bom and Viewable Lists from  json files. This will be very helpful option when we want to display some CreoView data in  Thingview.   How to extract BOM and viewable data form a Creo View /Illustrate *.pvz file is shown in the post "How to extract the components with properties from a pvz file".   In this example the json files are saved already  in a thingworx repository (means a thing form template FileRepostiroy) e.g.  "CAD-Files-Repository" :   1.)Create a service for the BOM List /InfoTable                 edit the CAD-Files-Repository thing and create a new service named  "GetBomStruct_arg_path" set  the BaseType : INFOTABLE . Set the DataShape property of the service - > here to BomListStuct -> this datashape need to be created  first . It sho

This post should provide more detailed steps additionally  to the posts ("How to extract the components with properties from a pvz file"[1.] and "How to use ThingView Widget from Navigate to display CAD Model/Viewables in custom mashup- Concept"[2])  This post should consider more detailed the steps for the extracting of viewables and also how to extract the sequence steps information from a .pvz / Creo Illustrate model for further usage in a Thingworx service. Following steps: 1.) Extracting the data from the Creo View Model ( Created from Creo Illustrate via publish to pvz functionality) As described in [1.] we required for the extraction of information a Creo View Toolkit.  A good choice will be the usage the Creo View  WebGL toolkit module.   A web toolkit program is called inside a html document ,where the javaScript Creo View WebGl Api is embedded. So, the most important logic could be called on the windows load function. The code below&n

Hi Guys, I'm new to Vuforia Studio so i try to figure out, how some mechanics work. What I want to do is, I Want a 3D-Picture turn on, at for example by Step 5 and turn off by Step 8.   I already can select a sequence from a 2D-Select Widget, press play and see the animations. $scope.setsequenceList = function(){ $scope.app.params.sequenceList = [ { "display":"Item1", "value":"app/resources/Uploaded/l-Creo%203D%20-%20Sequence%202.pvi" } ] } $scope.setsequenceList(); Now only my 3D-Picture "Warning" is missing. I already found some guides but i'm not able to transfer the solutions into my problem (Beginner Level with Coding).   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Studio/Play-specific-step-of-PVI-sequence-at-studio/m-p/552906#M3362 and https://community.ptc.com/t5/Studio/How-to-turn-3D-image-files-on-and-off-when-using-a-2D-select/m-p/611996   If you can help, I would appreciate 🙂    

In this article  we have the same start point/state as described in “How to read sensors via Rest API call in and display it Vuforia Studio experience project?”… but with one significant difference ->the sensors URLs are not visible for the Thingworx service. The problem is that the sensors values should be requested via Rest API calls in a local intranet. This means that the end devices are connected to a local router and have IP valid only in the local WLAN. Othersides the router   have also internet access. The end devices could connect to  the Experience Server and could download e.g.  the experience. The sensor URL and rest API call should be some thing like:   var url="http://172.16.40.43.5900/api/v0/dev_id=6&size_id=123";   So, it means the IP address of the device, where the value should be requested via Rest API calls is not visible from outside of the local WLAN and the Rest API call could done only inside the local network. So here

In this particular cases we have some sensors/devices which could be accessed via WLAN/ Web  and also  we need to scan /request the values of these sensors via rest API calls. For example from javascript code for simple REST API request the code   should looks like (used a test web page which provides demo response) :   //this code will work fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/6') .then(response => response.json()) .then(json => {console.log(json); }) .catch(error =>{ console.error(error);}) };   ... but the same code will not work for http url   fetch('http://ip.jsontest.com/') .then(response => response.json()) .then(json => {console.log(json); }) .catch(error =>{ console.error(error);}) };   When I tested it - my observation was that https and http requests will work in Studio in preview mode.  But only the https request will work on both Android and IOS devices. The http fetch request will not

Mechanism  Concept in Vuforia Studio- How to make rotation more easy   When we try to rotate a model or 3d modelitem about a particular space axis it seldom will rotate about the correct axis as we want.  So, in this case we can try to solve this  when we use  some mathematical calculations. For example in the example(picture below)  -   door assembly we want to rotate  the door subassembly via the door hinges:     but  when we  try to rotate the door model about 60degree it rotates undesired on the wrong axis.      The question is:  Which is this axis and how to change it? The answer here is : When we have a PVZ model we cannot really change it!  We can use some mathematical relations to get the correct behavior . In this particular sample case the correct javaScript relation should be something like :   ... $scope.simple_door_slider_change = function (angle, door_length) { &nb

1.) The first point  here is to clarify : is it possible to extract model data of 3d models in Vuforia Studio?  ( data could be extracted by Creo View Toolkit apps but here is considered only the Vuforia Studio environment) Supposing , we have a model widget for an assembly model without explicit modelitem  widget definitions. The question is: Can we extract data for the components and if yes,  then what data we can extract? In Vuforia Studio Environment Extracting of data is possible only in Preview mode, because we have in preview mode the method tml3dRenderer.GetObject() where we can access a model object (a component) example:   let comp_widget=tml3dRenderer.GetObject(selection).GetWidget()   where the selection is some thing like "<modelname>-<compPath>" e.g. : "model-1-/0/0/3/2"   Then from the widget we can extract data:   var loc=tml3dRenderer.GetObject(selection).GetWidget().GetLocation() console.error("DEBUG getObj.Ge

I would like to change resource of 3D image with JS code to avoid inserting all pictures. Can anyone help me?   Thanks Janos 

Hello Guys,   I made some animations with Creo Illustrate 5.0 and also used some Callouts to show some important parts. Same Thing just without Callout in Vuforia Studio However, when I was finished, I uploaded in Vuforia Studio and designed a simple User Interface just to test some things. So far so good. The Problem is that I only see the Animations (changing colours, moving parts.....) but not my Callouts. In creo I saw everything.   Did I something wrong with the Callouts?    Thanks for your help 🙂    

Hi, I just found this Magne Motion Demo video, it's a joint demo of PTC and RA. Could anyone provide more detailed info about this demo?   (view in My Videos)   Thanks!

Can you install both ThingWorx and Vuforia on the same image?

I´m trying to publish my project but since I clicked "publish" there is just the loading sign next to the save button. It´s loading and loading and loading... What could be a problem?

I cannot seem to get a step sequence to show an opacity change in the Hololens. It works fine in the preview and all the other step animations show correctly just not a change in opacity.

All models in Creo Illustrate show a trail and graphic distortion when they´re moved around.

I am using the select widget to select the sequence to play.  I would like to have this list default to a specific sequence.  Is this possible?

I want to use TEXT AREA widget for comments from users in Vuforia Studio. If some user want to give some feedback on model or design I want to display it on mashup. but I don't know how to use this widget and how to submit text to thingworx. How can i use this widget?   please find attached image for reference  

I experienced, that when using an image target it is having some offset time by time and is realigning as soon as the image is detected again.   Using the spatial anchor instead is much more stable.   From a technical perspective, that most not be because you could just register the scene with an image and then fixing it with AR functionality of the device as if it works with the spatial anchor.   Is the image target functionality still developed? How could I improve my experience by using the image target because it is needed to set the orientation of the 3D models?   I use the latest Vuforia Studio, Vuforia View App, iPad 6. Generation, Target Image has a Vuforia Rating 5 out of 5 Stars.    

Hello,   I am working on fan model where I just want to rotate the fan blades continuously and not its outer cover until I click on stop button. So, can anyone suggest any solution for the same? 

I have signed up for my vuforia studio trial. I have no emails with my experience service URL. It has been 2+ days since my trial started, I cannot use the software still. Where can I find or request my URL?   Thank you

Hello Sir/Madam,   When I am working on VS (Google Chrome) my screen faded out in every 10 to 15 seconds.After that I have to restart VS every-time. I reset settings of google chrome but it didn't work for me. Please find attached screenshot for reference. Any help will be appreciated.

Got stuck with the installation of experience service. What Should I do when it is asking me for the Thingworks Server URL and credentials? Can't find anything in the document; it only gives an example but where do we get it from?

Hi,   I need help in extending the trial for some more time.   -- Dhinesh
