WinCC v8.0 Step By Step 30: How to Add & Integrate 3D Models into your Project 🤯 😎
This is # 30 in our WinCC v8.0 Step By Step Series. We will show you all you need to know to add and integrate 3D Models into your WinCC V8 SCADA application. We will load the 3D model, then create screens to view it in the Explore and Runtime Modes. We will identify the parts of the 3D model we can manipulate, then use the API to change colors, rotate parts and move the camera. We will then show a practical use case where users can click on an alarm message to see an animation showing the location of the equipment fault. Be sure to watch until the end, as there are lots of hidden gems throughout.
