I am looking at creating a plane that when in the overhead view, I'd like to be able to draw a rectangle to represent selection. (like what you might see when lasso'ing a bunch of icons in windows.

I'm struggling to find out a way to draw a rectanglularvisual... and was hoping perhaps someone can point me in the correct direction.

I've got the mouse down/move/up events setting upper left and lower right of a rectangle, but seeing as rectangularvisual 3d uses origin etc, I cant just plug those values in. 

ondown, check mouse buttons, findnearestpoint set variable to that if there is a value

onmove, if dragging, create rectangular visual if not null, and then set its origin to x-x/2 and y-y/2. (z dimension shouldnt really matter in this case.

Is there an easier way to do this? (I couldnt get this to work anyway)

objo wrote at 2012-05-10 22:07:

yes, the RectangleVisual3D is defined by Origin, Width and Length.

If you want to draw a rectangle aligned with the X and Y axes in the z=0 plane, e.g. from P1=Point3D(x1,y1,0) to P2=Point3D(x2,y2,0), you could set

Normal = new Vector3D(0,0,1)
LengthDirection = new Vector3D(1,0,0)
Origin = P1+(P2-P1)*0.5
Length = Math.Abs(P2.X-P1.X)
Width = Math.Abs(P2.Y-P1.Y)

Thanks for the code above, I am also trying to make a selection box by creating a RectangleVisual3D to always face the camera regardless of the camera position. With the above code I made this possible, but only if the camera is in the standard views(F,B,L,R,U,D).

Does anybody know how to calculate the Normal & LengthDirection of the RectangleVisual3D depending on the Camera settings?

I am trying to follow your Voxel example to highlight a 3D model in the viewport when the user mouses over it. I have multiple Model3D objects in the viewport and the hit testing works fine until I start adding transforms to the Model3Ds. Even if the model is transformed to say (100,20,0), the hit testing reports a Model3D that is positioned at its original location, (0,0,0). I tried to determine which model was moused over by the bounding box of the orignal model and the bounding box of the hit result, but this only worked for some of the models. Any ideas? should I be using a different object type?

cobra18t wrote at 2011-12-13 17:33:

Additionally, hits.First().Position is reporting a position that is scaled with the same scale transformation of the model that is moused over. So when mousing over a model so that the mouse is hitting point (1,1,1) on the surface of the model, Position reports (5,5,5) as the hit point since the model is scaled by 5 in each dimension. Is there a way to apply the transformation permanently to avoid these discrepancies?

objo wrote at 2011-12-13 18:38:

have a look at HelixToolkit.Wpf.Viewport3DHelper.GetTransform to get the total transforms applied to the Visual3Ds and Model3Ds in your hits.

Also see the Viewport3DHelper.FindNearestPoint method!
