PIX Import for KeyCreator is a Dr. Picza (.pix) file import add-in for KeyCreator. This add-in gives KeyCreator the ability to import geometric data from PIX files.
PIX Import for KeyCreator reads surface and polygon mesh data stored in PIX files and imports it into KeyCreator. If the PIX file contains a scan of a surface PIX Import for KeyCreator creates a single trimmed surface describing the scanned surface. This surface can be converted into a solid by giving it a thickness. If the PIX file contains the scan information in the form of a polygon mesh PIX Import for KeyCreator creates a body describing the object that was scanned. A polygon mesh in a PIX file is comprised of a set of quad faces. PIX Import for KeyCreator creates trimmed planar surfaces for each quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then PIX Import for KeyCreator will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

PIX Import for KeyCreator is designed to be extremely user friendly and easy to understand. Once installed, it must be loaded into the KeyCreator environment. To load the add-in follow the simple instructions in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to KeyCreator. It also adds a new submenu called "PIX Import for KeyCreator" to the KeyCreator's "Add-Ins" menu containing these commands.
