Problems importing STL and VRML files to VTK

I'm trying to import a CAD assembly from SolidWorks to VTK using vtkSTLReader and vtkVRMLImporter in Python. From my understanding, these are the only 3D formats VTK is able to read from SolidWorks. Doing that, I encountered 2 issues: 1) When importing an STL part, is it possible to scale its size so that it will fit my original SolidWorks part? After adding the actor of the STL part, it seems to give the part an arbitrary origin and scale. 2) How can I import a VRML 3D model and assign an actor to it? What I fail to understand is why the VRMLImporter is creating the renderer without any artist involved. With vtkSTLReader or VTKSources (cube, cone, etc) I assign their mappers to an actor for applying transformations or other functions on the artists. With VRML there is no artist which corresponds to the 3D object in all examples I've seen. How can I do that? -- Sent from: http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/VTK-Users-f1224199.html _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the VTK FAQ at: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=vtkusers Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: https://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/vtkusers
