Opening CTM Files
To start the CTM-to-OBJ conversion, launch the MeshInspector program. Once its user interface is open, go to the ’Home’ tab and click ’Open Files’ to upload your CTM model.
Browsing CTM Files
In the dedicated dialog window that appears, locate your .ctm file. Once found, select it and click Upload (or double-click its name). MeshInspector will load the file quickly.
Viewing CTM Files
After import, the CTM model appears as a polygonal mesh ready for further operations. Rotate, zoom, or inspect it from any angle in order to make sure the model is displayed correctly.
Exporting Components
When you see that your CTM object is ready for export, find it in the Scene Tree. Right-click the desired object and choose the ‘Export’ button to open the export dialog and prepare for OBJ output.
Combining for Export
If the CTM file contains several items, merge them before exporting. Select all elements in our Scene Tree, right-click, and choose ’Group.’ Then, right-click the new group and select ’Combine Subtree.’
Setting the OBJ Format
After clicking ’Export,’ the ’Save File’ dialog will appear. Rename your file if needed and open the ’Extension’ dropdown list. Choose .obj as the output format. MeshInspector will then perform the CTM-to-OBJ conversion, preserving mesh structure and topology.
Inspecting the Size
Once exported, reopen your OBJ file in MeshInspector to verify its scale after the change. Go to the Inspect tab and enable ‘Bounding Box’ to display overall dimensions and confirm that proportions remain accurate after conversion.
Adjusting the Size
If the OBJ file does not match your desired dimensions, use the ’Transform’ feature under ’Information.’ Use the Scale slider to resize the object. Once satisfied, confirm your adjustment by clicking the checkmark icon.
