Opening Models in VR

You can open multiple models in VR in eDrawings. Although you can view only one model at a time in the VR headset, you can switch between models on the desktop. eDrawings can have either VR or non-VR documents open, but not both at the same time. To switch between VR and non-VR documents, close all current documents in eDrawings.

To open models in VR:

  1. Set up an HTC VIVE™ or VIVE Pro™ headset with Valve SteamVR™.
  2. Click File > Open in VR.
  3. In the dialog box, select a part (.SLDPRT) or assembly (.SLDASM) and click OK.
    The model opens in a staging area in eDrawings where you can set options on the Environment pane.
  4. Click Play to view the model in the headset.
