AlToIv
 
 
 

Purpose

AlToIv translates Alias wire file to SGI OpenInventor format files.

Description:

AlToIv [ options ] [-i <infile> [-o <outfile>]]  
-h outputs online help
-binary switches the output to a more compact Inventor binary format. The default is Inventor ASCII format.
-ascii outputs the ASCII inventor
-verbose displays all messages.
-quiet operates with no feedback
-notransforms outputs world space objects
-alltransforms outputs a full hierachy with transforms at each DAG node and each object space object
-transforms outputs required transforms at each DAG node and at each object space object
-tri tesselates all NURBS surfaces to triangles using settings from the Render Stats window
-quad tesselates all NURBS surfaces to quadrangles wherever possible, using settings from thje Render Stats window
-nurb outputs NURBS surfaces
-cameras outputs cameras
-nocameras does not output cameras
-instances converts Alias instances to Inventor instances
-noinstances converts Alias instances to copies
-inline creates inline texture date instead of references
-noinline creates referenced textures where possible (for file textures only)
-inventory creates a single Inventor material or texture for each Alias material or texture, and an instance for each object
-noinventory creates an Inventor material or texture for each object
-units name outputs units with a specific name to indicate the type of the units. Name can be:MICRONS MILLIMETERS CENTIMETERS METERS KILOMETERS INCHES FEET MILES
-nounits don’t output units
-scale scale scale the Inventor file by a specified amount
-xres resolution Non-file textures sample to this X resolution
-yres resolution Non-file textures sample to this Y resolution
-noinstances does not convert Alias instances to Inventor instances
Where:  
-i <infile> specifies an Alias wire file to use as input. If not specified, input comes from stdin.
-o <outfile> specifies an Inventor file to write output to. If it is not specified, the output is written to stdout.
