launching visual3d & pipeline externally
launching visual3d from a dos command line (or an external program)
if you have a dos path set to the visual3d directory you can type
visual3d.exe if not, you must specify the full path to visual3d.
c:\program files\visual3d\visual3d.exe
command line parameters
several parameters can be passed to visual when it is being launched from the command line:
-s <pipeline path and file name>: this can be used to run a saved pipeline immediately after opening v3d from the command line.
visual3d.exe -s "c:\users\user\documents\scripts\pipeline.v3s"
-c <pipeline command>: this can be used to execute a specific pipeline command, unaltered default parameters can be excluded. this parameter can be used multiple times to execute multiple pipeline commands.
visual3d.exe -c "file_open/file_name=motion_file.c3d;"
-f <default folder>: this can be used to set the defaultdatapath. this parameter can be used three times, subsequent uses define the defaultmodelpath and the defaultreportpath.
visual3d.exe -f "c:\users\user\documents\data_folder" -f "c:\users\user\documents\model_folder" -f "c:\users\user\documents\report_folder"
/caltesterstandalone: this specifies that visual3d should be launched in a simple, caltester only mode.
visual3d.exe /caltesterstandalone
/hideprotocols: this specifies that the pop up command wizard should not be shown (this is usually default setting)
visual3d.exe /hideprotocols
