Change Assigned System Names

The Beast Core 6 Geometry Processor automatically assigns newly uploaded files to the generic “Default” system. Read on to learn 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 a 3D Model of an uploaded file without changing its system name:

     • Select the system named Default in the 3D Viewer Settings plugin → Groups tab → Unloaded section

       

     • Click the button

       • Within seconds, a 3D Model of the selected system displays in the 3D Viewer plugin

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 in the left-hand navigation pane’s Admin section

     

2. Click the button at the top of the Process Components screen.

   

   • On the Select Component References pop-up window, left click to de-select items not needed in the exported CSV file (if applicable), then click the button

     • 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.

   NOTE

   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:

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

     NOTE

     Select the button to view a 3D Model of your renamed system in the System Viewer plugin.
