VTube-LASER can reverse engineer tube and then build that tube in SOLIDWORKS as a fully-constrained 3D parametric model. This page describes the basic steps to create an assembly from a part using VTube-LASER and SOLIDWORKS.


STEP 1: Measure One of the Parts in VTube-LASER

Measure the first pipe and create a measured tube shape.

STEP 2: Build the Part in SOLIDWORKS

Use the File tab in Measure Tube Data to send the measured part to SOLIDWORKS.

STEP 3: Save the SOLIDWORKS Part File

Save the part to a unique SOLIDWORKS part file on the disk.

STEP 4: Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for all the parts

Be careful to not move the assembly. Repeat the first three steps for each tube.
