Step-by-Step Guide to Update CAD for Simulation

1. Export Moving Components

• Identify all components that can move (e.g., drivetrain, elevator base stage, elevator 2nd stage, elevator carriage).
• Think about which big parts move.
• Right-click on the part you want to hide, then select Suppress until only the desired component is visible.
• Save the file as STEP AP214 in your Downloads folder.
• If prompted with "One or more components are hidden or suppressed," click No.
  
• Repeat these steps for all moving parts.
• REMEMBER: make sure all components are collapsed (at zeroed position)... or you will need to spend another hour on this... don't ask how I know this

2. Use CAD Assistant

- Open the exported file in CAD Assistant. - Apply colors to the model as needed. - Export the file and save it as a GLB file. - Save the GLB file in your repository under the Robot_ folder inside the assets folder: - Name the base (e.g., drivetrain) as model. - Name the second stage (e.g., elevator base) as model_0. - Name the third stage (e.g., elevator 2nd stage) as model_1, and so on. - Repeat these steps for all parts.

3. Start Simulation

• Open Advantage Scope and start the sim.

4. Update config.json

• Open the config.json file in your code.
• Copy the following code for the Drivetrain:

  {
    "name": "Offbot 2025",
    "disableSimplification": false,
    "rotations": [
      {
        "axis": "x",
        "degrees": 180
      },
      {
        "axis": "y",
        "degrees": 0
      },
      {
        "axis": "z",
        "degrees": 90
      }
    ],
    "position": [
      0,
      0,
      0
    ],
    "cameras": [],
  
    "components": []
  }

• For each components, copy the following code

  {
        "zeroedRotations": [
          {
            "axis": "x",
            "degrees": 0
          },
          {
            "axis": "y",
            "degrees": 0
          },
          {
            "axis": "z",
            "degrees": 0
          }
        ],
        "zeroedPosition": [
          0,
          0,
          0
        ]
      }

• Adjust the values until all robot parts are correctly oriented and facing forward.
• Ensure each component has its own unique set of code.

Follow these steps carefully to ensure your CAD model is correctly updated for simulation.
