RoboDK Shape Add-In
The RoboDK Shape Add-In allows you to easily create shapes in the RoboDK station environment. With the RoboDK Shape Add-In, you can easily create and add 3D models of boxes, spheres, cones, cylinders, conveyors, pedestals, tables, and robot cell fences.
The RoboDK Shape Add-in also allows you to define dimensions and configuration parameters for the shapes you create. A preview is available to check that the result is correct.
You can set any color and transparency for the shapes you are planning to create.
You can find the RoboDK Shape add-in in the Add-ins section of the library: https://robodk.com/addin/com.robodk.app.shape
If you already have RoboDK with the Add-In Manager plugin installed (available from v5.5.4 (2023-02-06) onwards), the only action you need to do is to install Shape Add-In from RoboDK Online Library.
