Is there anybody with a Jack-License that can create me a dummy person?

For a visualisation of machinery I would like to add a male to the top assy to show the size of these assy's compaired to a human.

This data may be sended in parasolid or step if this is possible, cause I do not need to modify this male.

With many thanks.

Jack, the NX Human is from memory NOT made up of sheets or solids but of articulated faceted bodies. I have used it in the past and it has some utility, but I don't currently have a license for that product.

Best Regards

It appears that the Eng-Tips download/upload scheme is appending a .txt extension to any 'text' file which is loaded. A Parasolid .x_t file is just that, a Parasolid model saved as a text file (there is also an option to save it as a binary file, and while text files are larger, they are also more compatible when sharing across different OS's). So just edit the file name, removing the .txt extension and then you can either import the .x_t file into the currently active NX part file using...

File -> Import -> Parasolid...

...or you can do a...

File -> Open...

...and change, at the bottom of the dialog, the 'Files of type: setting to 'Parasolid Text Files (*.x_t)' and just open it directly as a new NX part file.
