Part Models

Part models represent models created using the part matching feature.

You can access a model in the active job using path notation. For example, to access a model called scan.mdl, use "_live.job/scan.mdl".

You can access part models in user-created job files in non-volatile storage, for example, "productionRun01.job/model1.mdl". You can only access part models in user-created job files using path notation.

See the following sections for the elements contained in a model.

Part models contain the following subcomponents. You can access the subcomponents using path notation, for example, "productionRun01.job/myModel.mdl/config.xml".

Element

Type

Description
Configuration config.xml Model configuration XML. It is always present. (See Configuration.)
Edge Points edge-height-top Edge points for the top heightmap. (See Edge Points.)
Edge Points edge-height-bottom Edge points for the bottom heightmap.
Edge Points edge-intensity-top Edge points for the top intensity map.
Edge Points edge-intensity-bottom Edge points for the bottom intensity map.

The edge points file exists only when the model contains the source data for the edge points.
