2.2 File requirements

The following requirements are placed on the files for import into the GP Manager.

In general, files of the following formats can be imported:

• STL 3D coordinates only
• OBJ 3D coordinates + texture
• WRL 3D coordinates + texture

The objects should have as few artefacts as possible.

If possible, the objects should be aligned beforehand. This speeds up the import process.

The software can be used to import completely 3D scanned feet, including the leg, footbeds and plantar soles. It is also suitable for importing the tops of insoles. To do this, the individual surface of the upper must be imported (not a closed solid or 2 surfaces).

The resolution should not exceed 20,000 triangular facets for footfall foams and insoles and 40,000 for plasters/feet. Please bear in mind that the resolution is for a foot and that a lower resolution also smoothes out unevenness. The higher the resolution, the longer the import will take.

Remark:

The GP Import 3D module cannot be used to import moulding data for OptiCAD.
