Hello 3DExcite team, hello All, I am developping a plugin for Deltagen using the C++ SDK. I need to set the timeline of an existing scene object animation to a specific time using the SDK. From what I understand, the IAnimation::JumpToNormalizedAnimationTime method is designed to do so. Problem is that I fail to get the IAnimation pointer corresponding to the animation I want to set the time for. The SDK documentation states : "To obtain animation data use RTT::SDK::ITurntable::GetAnimations or

Hi 3DExcite team! As per the followng page, Python 3.7 has been End-of-Life for almost 3 years now, and many third-party packages have dropped support for it in the years since: We use Python in DELTAGEN very heavily and this is making it very difficult to maintain within our Pipeline, and so I wanted to ask if there are any plans to move to an actively maintained Python version in the near future? Thanks! Nikhil

Hello, I have a question about 3DEXCITE Roles. It seems like some roles(EXV, XPA) are removed in R2026x. Especially, EXV(Marketing Experience Presenter) was a key role to play Creative Experience contents in 3DPlay, but It seems like the list has disappeared from Program Directories. Is EXV officially removed? If so, can I play the contents in 3DPlay without EXV?

I modeled an elastic substrate with axially stretched connectors in Abaqus. Initially, everything was defined in meter units (elastic modulus = 100 Pa, connector stiffness = 100 N/m). Later, I converted the entire model to millimeter units and updated the properties accordingly (elastic modulus = 100e-6 MPa, connector stiffness = 100e-3 N/mm). All geometric dimensions, connector lengths, and influence radius were scaled consistently. Although I expected equivalent behavior, the connector in the

Hi everyone, I'm trying to render a creative experience which includes a planet enviroment. It is basically a satellite in orbit, there is actually a DS publish video of this. I would like to find out which is the best way to achieve this. The render option in the creative experience app seems to be deactivated when the planet is added as the enviroment. I'm using the experience creator rol (XEC-OC), maybe I should use another role?

Hello everyone, We are currently working on a virtual reality application within the "Creative Experience" app. We were wondering whether it is already possible to export the VR experience as a standalone version. If so, how does this process work, and what hardware would you recommend? Meta Quest or Apple Vision Pro? Does anyone have experience with this topic? We are considering purchasing an Apple Vision Pro and would like to know whether you would recommend it. I couldn’t find a tutorial on

I just started using SolidWorks for creators and would love to try making things using my 3018 pro machine with the original engraving bits that come with the machine if possible.

I am working with my own script-based behaviors in Creative Experience and I have succeeded on many custom motions that go beyond the capabilities of the default behaviors. However, I have hit a wall when trying to create a property of type 3DActor to refer to another subproduct for reference. Specifically, I want a more complex Imitate-like behavior, where I can enable the selection of a reference actor for another actor to follow, plus other flexible options. I am using the "Reference"

In the XDrawing app, when working with 3d or 2d views, the option to move them has disappeared. normaly when you click on a skew, a dot appears somewhere on the view to move the skew, or you can move it by dragging the frame. Now the moving dot is gone, and no matter what I do when a view is added, it is locked in place and won't move. Is this a new update causing problems, or is there a new way to move 2d views? xdrawing

Hi everyone, I've been working with SolidWorks for years at my company. I wanted the software at home to draw some small projects I'd like to do myself, but the interface is completely different.

Dear colleagues I've been looking for a way to identify objects in a DeltaGen scene that are assigned a transparent material. So far, I've found that the only way to do it is using the function "getMaterialDescription" and then identifying the ones that contain transparency by looking into the results. I'd like more information on whether there's any setting that is common to all Stellar material types (PBR, PBR Basic, Glass, Generic, etc) and what is it named (Cut out opacity? Transparency?

Hello, I’m running into limitations with X-Motion animations and was hoping you might know if there are any workarounds available within 3DEXPERIENCE . Right now, X-Motion only allows me to export animations as 3DXML, while the other export formats available from X-Design (STEP, IGES, ACIS, STL, 3MF) only include geometry—no animation data. I have not found any way to render or export an animation directly from X-Motion or X-Studio. Because of this, I’m trying to transfer the animation into

I have been recently working on creating experiences for the Apple Vision Pro (AVP) using the Creative Experience app. I have been able to publish such experiences and open them in the 3D Live App. However, after the 2026 update, I have published new experiences, but I can't load them in the app in the AVP. They appear in the app, but once I try to open them, the "Loading" icon appears, but it doesn't get beyond that. It "loads" forever, but nothing happens. It is worth mentioning that I noticed

Hello all! I've been playing around with using Python to create Widgets for DeltaGen 25x and DG STAGE 25x. It has been working great, but I'm looking to improve workflow, so I do have a few extra questions about it: Is there a way to embed Pytho script functionalities directly into the UI, like a new drop-down menu next to File | Edit | Selection | Scene | etc? If not, is it possible to add a script to the the toolbars with its own icon? I know a script can be dragged onto an existing Toolbar,

Hello everyone! I wanted to ask if there is a process or methodology or application/-s which I can use to annotate assemblies (so a combinations of products / parts / objects) as a whole.

Hi. I am starting my journey using Creative Experience to create virtual experiences for VR devices and I am currently in the process of assigning behaviors and triggering them by means of the natural language.

My subscription is set for auto renew and yet I get an email notification sometimes twice a day informing me that some licenses will expire is xx days. EVERYDAY, is the system not smart enough to know that I have an auto new account? 1 email maybe 2 is enough for anyone to be responsible for their subscription, at least the email should have a link to stop this notice for this subscription period.

Can anyone tell me why everytime I login to 3DExperience it ask too "accept or reject cookies". Every other web site you only need to do it once. Am I doing some wrong, is there a way to get it to stop?
