The guide is designed to be brief and yet covering all needed steps on how to enable the 3D Stereo Plugin for Siemens FEMAP. This is a one-time setup and not needed to be repeated once setup properly.
I. Prepare the 3D Stereo Plugin
1) Please download and install moreStereo3D.
2) Start moreStereo3D.
II. Configure the 3D Stereo Plugin for Siemens FEMAP
3) Right click the moreStereo3D Tray Icon (next to your system time) and select “more3D Stereo Enabler”
4) Click the “Locate known Apps” Button. The more3D stereo enabler will search the folders “C:\Program Files” and “C:\Program Files (x86)” for your Siemens FEMAP installation and you can apply the 3D Stereo Plugin for Siemens FEMAP .
In case you have installed Siemens FEMAP into a non-standard installation directory, please continue with step 5). If the more3D Stereo Enabler found your Siemens FEMAP installation properly, please continue on step 8)
5) Click the “Add Application” Button.
