1Build Instructions
1. Download and extract the demo
Download the attached demo archive and extract all files into one folder.
Keep the included folder structure unchanged. The saved project uses the supplied blueprint images.
2. Start the application
Run the included application executable.
The current demo is intended for Windows.
3. Open the example project
Open the included
.bpprojfile.The project contains a truck blueprint split into separate orthographic views and several predefined matching points.
Some parts of the current version are still configured specifically for this example.
4. Check the existing points
Select one of the predefined point numbers.
The same point will be visible in the views where it has already been marked. If enough perpendicular observations are available, its reconstructed position will also appear in the 3D preview.
The views can be zoomed and panned independently.
5. Add another matching point
Choose an unused point number and mark the same physical location in at least two suitable perpendicular views.
For example:
- mark a cab corner in the side view;
- mark the same corner in the top view;
- optionally add the corresponding position in the front or rear view.
The reconstructed point should appear immediately in the 3D preview.
6. Connect reconstructed points
Create edges between selected reconstructed points.
The 3D preview updates as the wireframe is extended. Duplicate and zero-length edges are rejected.
7. Export the result
Export the confirmed 3D edges as a DXF file.
The exported file contains real three-dimensional line entities and can be opened in software supporting 3D DXF geometry.
Current limitation
The included truck project is the supported demonstration case.
The alignment and reconstruction rules still need to be generalised before arbitrary blueprint sets can be imported without project-specific configuration.
