Zuken's E3.series, showing the panel model creation process with a focus on the insertion of a 3D STEP file, illustrating the precision and steps involved in detailed electrical design.

Tech Tip: Creating Panel Models and Inserting STEP Files

Menu

This video will show step by step instructions on how to create a basic Panel Model and insert a 3D STEP file.

This will display how to align the 3D model with the DXF 2D figure.

It creates a 3D Panel model by adding and placing pins onto the model.

It displays how to add the necessary parameters like slot point, mounting rail information and Z dimensions to the 3D model.
