STEP 1 - Import a Solid Model or Manually Enter Part Data in VTube

You can enter centerline coordinates, bender data, or import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP model of a tube.

Some imports require further processing before you output to Supravision. For example, you need to use the collect process on STEP and IGES models - which is like measuring the tube with a mouse. Then you can calculate the centerline coordinates.

Before you can export Supravison data, you must have data in the Tube Data menu describing the tube shape.
