MSA- Prepare 3D Models

Prepare 3D Models

Functional details

3D model is defined by 36 pictures of given vehicle taken at angles from 0° to 350°, with step 10°.

All pictures should be in JPEG format and have following dimensions:

• width: 780px
• height: 383px

If photo size is different, aspect ratio 780/383 should be preserved.

File name should consist of two parts: model prefix and subsequent number (00 to 35), separated by “_”. The prefix is used to assign 3D model with the respective vehicle model in SAP. It needs match group code defined in MSA customizing using SPRO 

Sample photos are presented in the table below.

When a user drags a damage marker onto the model, the application needs to determine the appropriate area of the damage. For that purpose, a color map is used.

Damages can be marked only at angles: 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° (left, rear, right, front). For each angle a color map file should be prepared. Color map file is a PNG file of the same size as the vehicle photos. Each area of the vehicle should be colored with a solid unique paint. The paint is used to define a reference between color and damage location in SAP, see below.

Areas which are not damage-relevant (are not part of vehicle) should be left transparent.

Relationship between model and color map pictures is shown in the table below.

Sample color map picture is presented below.

A mapping of color code to damage location needs to be defined in MSA customizing.

 We suggest to perform several tests after the mapping is performed. Furthermore tests should be performed with the Mobiles Service Advisor SAP User Profile, so to check also if the user has authorization to access Server Resources (which are downloaded in background during the login). In case only the default resources are available on the MSA, an analysis with a Basis consultant can be a good start point to investigate.
