EXPORTING NON-MESH COMPONENTS WHEN EXPORTING 3D OBJECTS TO 3D FILE FORMATS

摘要

A method and system for exporting a 3D object in an application to a file having a 3D file format is disclosed. The method includes a receiving a request for exporting a 3D object in an application to a file having a 3D file format where the 3D object includes a plurality of components. Upon receiving the request, the components are examined to determine if any of them are a 2D text component. When it is determined that at least one of the components is a 2D text component, a database may be referenced to identify a text character that corresponds to the 2D text component, before replacing the 2D text component with a corresponding 3D model in the file.
