Change Assigned System Names

The Beast Core 6 Geometry Processor automatically assigns newly uploaded files to the generic “Default” system. Read on to discover how to change system names in a CSV file exported from the Component Processor editing tool.

Geometry Processor Assigns New File Uploads to “Default” System Name

1. Follow the steps in the Upload Geometry Files article to upload your workspace files into the Geometry Processor.

2. By default, the program automatically assigns each new file upload to a generic system named Default.

   • To view an uploaded file without changing its system name:

     • Click the Refresh button on the far-right side of the Search bar on the 3D Viewer Settings Plugin → Groups tab

     • Select the system named Default on the 3D Viewer Settings Plugin → Groups tab → Unloaded section

       • Then click the button

         
         

Change an Assigned System Name

NOTE

Whether you’re changing a system name from the generic Default to its actual name or correcting a typo on a previously assigned system name, the process is the same.

1. Click the Component Processor icon on the far-left side of the screen, or select Component Processor on the navigation pane’s Admin menu.

   

2. Click the Export Components to CSV button at the top of the Process Components screen.

   

   • Upon performing this action, two things happen simultaneously:

     • A successful export notification displays in the lower right corner of your screen

       

     • The exported file populates in a Save As pop-up window on your screen

       

3. Rename the exported file (if desired) and save it to your device.

   

4. Open the CVS file and manually change the Default (or incorrect) system name to the desired system name.

   

5. Check your work and save your changes.

   • It’s fine to overwrite the file you saved earlier

6. Return to the Component Processor editing tool and select the button in the top right corner of the Process Components page.

7. In the Open pop-up window, select your modified CVS file to populate the empty file name textbox, then click Open.

   

   • A successful import notification displays in the lower right corner

     

8. To view your changed system name on the 3D Viewer Settings Plugin → Groups tab:

   • Click the Refresh button on the far-right side of the Groups screen’s Search bar

   • Look for the new, alphabetized name in the Unloaded section

     NOTE

     Select the button to view a 3D Model of your renamed system.
