✨ SceneViewer(1) — General Commands Manual ✨

💖 NAME

okay bestie, so SceneViewer is a 3d editor and viewer for Inventor scenes 🦋✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

SceneViewer [-e env_file] [file]

🌸 DESCRIPTION

okay so SceneViewer is a program for viewing and interacting with Inventor scene graph files (the SGI 3D file format standard) 💅 it was written to demonstrate Inventor features, and it's literally the basis for the IRIS Explorer Render Module 👑

when you run it, a window pops up with the Inventor examiner viewer and a menu bar 🪞 the viewer lets you change the view of the scene through direct manipulation, or through indirect slider and push button controls 🫶 the menu bar has these menus:

• File — this one handles reading and writing files, and it launches a dialog for printing to a printer or to a PostScript file 🖨️
• Edit — copy and paste your 3D data, select all objects, and delete the currently selected objects 💀
• Viewing — the viewing paradigms bestie, it's giving options 🌈 there's the examiner viewer (a virtual trackball interface), the fly-through viewer for traveling through expansive data sets, the walk viewer for architectural walk-throughs, and the plane viewer for orthographic projections 🧚 this menu also handles different types of transparency, fog effects, antialiasing, and background color controls 🎨
• Selection — shows off the different selection policies 🍓 a selection policy decides how objects get added to and removed from the collection of selected objects
• Editors — launches the material editor and transform sliders 💜 an object has to be selected for this menu to be active
• Manips — lets different manipulators act on the current selection, including the trackball, handle box, jack, center ball, and transform box ✨ you can also turn manipulators off, and then selected objects get surrounded with a red wireframe box highlight 🔥
• Lights — create and edit directional, point, and spot lights 💡 you can also turn lights on and off 🌟
