3D Visualization The mounted NFS drive is displayed in the ACE File Explorer directory tree. You can now browse the files and folders on the mounted NFS drive, and access files on the mounted drive(s) from the controller, as if the files/folders on the mounted drives were located directly on the controller. 3D Visualization The ACE software incorporates Adept’s "3D Visualization" technology, which automatically creates a 3D visualization (simulation) of your system, as shown in the following figure. For example, when you first con- nect to the Adept controller, the robot automatically appears in the 3D Visualization window.
If you add a gripper to your robot, the tool offset is added to the 3D display. If you add other objects to the Workspace Explorer and then teach the locations of the objects, they automatically move to the correct locations in the 3D display. You can even see representations of your move locations in the 3D Visualization window. 3D Visualization with robot, conveyor, camera FOV, belt window, and found/allocated instances NOTE: The default status of all 3D objects is set to "visible". Therefore, any 3D objects in your work- space (like a robot or belt) will be shown in the 3D Visualization window. To hide an object, go to that ACE User's Guide, 3.6.x 18316-000 Rev A Page 176
