REST API - Exporting to STEP works, but exporting to OBJ does not

guillauem_d

Hello there ! 😉

I'm trying to export my sheet metal part using the REST API, exporting it to a STEP file works fine using the following method :

• Initiate the exporting procedure using /api/v6/assemblies/d/{}/w/{}/e/{}/translations
and payload = { "allowFaultyParts": True, "angularTolerance": 0.001, "formatName": "STEP", "storeInDocument": True, }
• Wait for the /api/v8/translations/{requestId} requestState to be DONE
• Download the STEP using /api/v8/translations/{requestId}

It works great, but now changing ‘’formatName’’ to ‘’OBJ’’ gives me the following error "Invalid resolution parameters were specified"

What changes to the payload should I make to make it work with OBJ ?

Thank you in advance !

Each file format requires different inputs. Same as the user interface shows different options.
For OBJ Files you need to include resolution="fine". other values are "coarse","medium", and then I think you can do custom with some other additional properties such as distanceTolerance, maximumChordLength, angular tolerance.

Indeed, after adding the resolution paramater, it works perfectly, thank you so much ! 😁
