Format

3D cutaway

The parts named in the document open up one after another on a ready-made 3D model.

Document: The turbofan engine; NASA Glenn Research Center, “Turbofan Engine” (US federal government work, public domain) and Wikipedia, “Turbofan” (CC BY-SA 4.0); the product's pipeline wrote and narrated the lesson in English. Kind: parts and structure; 3D cutaway suits this kind. In the showcase video the Zıpır team chose the format.

3D cutaway across the eight document kinds

It suits 1 kind; for the other 7, another format works better. The sentence on a row that does not suit is the note the panel shows on that document.

  1. Parts and structure — suits

    the parts of a machine, building, tool or body and how they work together.

  2. Concepts and processes — does not suit

    “This document explains a concept; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Whiteboard

  3. Steps and rules — does not suit

    “This document explains steps and rules; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Clay figures

  4. Numbers and data — does not suit

    “This document explains numbers and data; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Summary presentation

  5. Dates and order of events — does not suit

    “This document explains dates and an order of events; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Timeline

  6. Places and layouts — does not suit

    “This document explains places and layouts; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Illustrated explainer

  7. Contracts and legislation — does not suit

    “This document is a text such as a contract or legislation; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Document walk-through

  8. Products and features — does not suit

    “This document presents the features of a product; 3D cutaway works better on documents describing the parts of a machine or structure. You can still continue.”

    Better for this kind: Showcase

Library format. This format uses a 3D model from the library for the machine or structure named in the document; if the library has no match, no video is produced. That is why Zıpır never suggests it as a fallback in its own choice.

Two rules hold in every format: every sentence on screen is a verbatim quote from your document, shown with its page and line; no video is produced until you approve the scene plan. See it in a video

Choose a format by document kind

Does your document suit 3D cutaway?

If you leave the format to Zıpır, it picks the one that suits your document. If you choose, no option is closed; if the document does not suit it, you see a short warning in the panel.
