How to convert Solid Edge (solidedge,.asm,.par) to XAML-3D (.xaml)?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Solid Edge

Solid Edge is a 3D CAD, parametric feature and synchronous technology solid modeling software developed by Siemens. Some of its distant competitors would be SolidWorks, ProE/Creo, UG NX and Autodesk Inventor.

Okino knows of the Solid Edge software well as it had created one of the very first and still main conversion systems for the software.

Conversion from Solid Edge into Okino software is handled by these 3 ideal methods:

• Via native import of the .par or .asm files,
• Via STEP AP214 or IGES 'BREP solids' files.
• Via JT files exported from Solid Edge.

XAML-3D

XAML-3D is a general XML-based 3D file format created by Microsoft in the mid 2000's for use in its Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Silverlight, Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows UI Library (WinUI) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

Microsoft came to Okino to request that we support XAML-3D as (basically) no other company did so. As such, we invested a considerable amount of time in writing our custom XAML-3D exporter and a stand-alone XAML-3D file viewer. XAML-3D never came to have much industry traction.
