Demo Video Using the MPDS4 3D Component Designer The MPDS4 3D COMPONENT DESIGNER is an add-on module for creating and animating custom 3D catalog components. It provides an easy to use dialog, which allows you to choose from a wide variety of existing catalog components, basic parametric shapes, or even imported 3D models, to develop your new component. It then allows you to add animations to simulate realistic movement scenarios. Watch the demo video of the MPDS4 3D Component Designer. Back to top
