Once you have completed your Onshape CAD work, you should then concentrate on the presentation of your work. One way to test your design at this stage is through the use of AR. Follow the steps below to create an AR model (augmented reality) of your final design. You can include different colour ways and different environment placings.
Insert examples of TeTe, Ah Ra, Patrick, Kevin etc.
Before you start the process of creating your AR model, you need to delete any unwanted parts that you have hiden from the parts menu. Select the parts to highlight them in blue and the click the feature menu.
Select the 'delete part' feature and then press the tick in the feature menu.
Now that you have deleted unwanted parts you are now ready to export your model so that you can use the 3D file in a different App. Click on the tab called 'Part studio 1' or your Assembly 1 and then select Export.
In the Export menu,
Change the part name - give it your name or final design etc.
Select the file type 'STEP'
Press Export.
Choose the On my iPad location and then press 'move'.
The STEP file should now be stored in the On my Ipad location on the iPad you are using.
Now you need to open the App called Shapr3D
Once the App opens
1. Press Start Designing button in the top right hand corner
2. Select Import file
If you press Recents then the file should be at the top of the file browser on the ipad you are using.
When the file opens in Shapr 3D press the 'visualisation' option on the left of the screen.
Now you can render your model with realistic materials by dragging them onto your model parts.
You can change the material type using the 'All materials' drop down menu near the top of the materials menu.
Continue to drop materials onto the model until it is rendered in the material colours that match your design.
Once your model is rendered in the correct materials you can press the AR button at the top left of the screen. This will launch the AR viewer.
Point your ipad at a surface and the model with appear in real time. you can pinch the model on the screen to resize it and to move it around. You can also walk around the model with you ipad to view it from different angles. You can also take screen capture images to put into your PowerPoint.
Take images of your model in different environments.
You can also Embed an interactive 3D model like the one on the right by pressing the share button in Shapr3D

Press 'Share' and then 'create link'
Copy the HTML EMBED CODE and then...
... paste that code into the Embed code widget on sites (it is on the menu on the right underneath 'Text box' at the top of the Insert menu.
