Try the software SharpDevelop. You can convert C#.NET Projects to VB.NET

Reset Camera {Home} key and DBL CLICK Middle Mouse Button flips model

michaeldjackson wrote at 2012-10-18 18:07:

Why does the Home key and DBL CLICK middel mouse button always flip my model? I have all Viewport settings as default, meaning I don't set any Axis, UpDirection, LookDirections, etc.

I draw one simple pipe, run, hit home key and model flips upside down.

objo wrote at 2012-11-02 22:47:

The default up direction is (0,0,1) in this toolkit (as in mathematics, I know (0,1,0) is standard in computer graphics...)

Is your model using Y-up? Did you set the ModelUpDirection property of the viewport? There may be a bug. http://helixtoolkit.codeplex.com/workitem/9962

Hi!

First of all - great work with Helix. Really good 3dViewPort!

But now question - is it possible, to "AutoFit" or "Center" object when loaded? When I load object (obj file) it shows "somewhere" in viewpost, and I have to scroll out until it shows :o Is it possible, to make it automaticly? like: Model3d.Camera.CenterToObject() or Model3dCamera.FitObjectToScreen()? 

Best wishes

Chris

objo wrote at 2011-12-09 18:44:

hi Chris, try the ZoomExtents() method on the HelixViewport3D. Or set ZoomExtentsWhenLoaded=true if the model was added before the view is loaded.

See all properties/methods of the control at http://helixtoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=HelixViewport3D

:o ! It works! Solution was so close, but I was too lazy, to read all descriptions :P

Thx for help!

How can I hide part the 3D model? For example to remove the roof of the building. Is this possible?

objo wrote at 2011-12-07 11:11:

Remove the Model3D or Visual3D from the visual tree. There is no "Visibility" flags in the WPF 3D model.

disable mousewheel zooming

hi there. Just want to first say thanks for your awesome code, absolutely brilliant. Excuse the simple noob question, but is there anyway to disable the mousewheel zooming function on your HelixViewport3D?

objo wrote at 2011-12-03 11:58:

try to set IsZoomEnabled = false on the HelixViewport3D. This should also disable zooming by the right mouse button.

The MouseWheel handling is not bound to a gesture since the standard mousewheel gesture is missing the delta value.

using arrow keys to roll camera instead of pan

mihaipruna wrote at 2013-11-22 20:42:

Basically I need to be able to use the arrow keys to effect custom transformations to the camera. I already coded a Quaternion but I think these key events are intercepted by the camera controller.
How do I stop that?

objo wrote at 2013-12-02 20:04:

The arrow keys are handled by the KeyDown event. Try to use the PreviewKeyDown event or add some InputBindings!

3D scatter plots?

Many thanks for sharing this amazing library!

I am seriously considering replacing my outdated 3D charting library with the Helix 3D Toolkit. However, I have one concern, and I have not been able to find any clarification in this discussion forum or the toolkit samples, nor through a Google search, so here goes:

Is there any support in the Helix 3D Toolkit to draw 3D scatter plots, similar to the MATLAB function scatter3? I am primarily looking for the ability to plot small spheres in the specified XYZ position with different fill colors depending on the point values, like this:



Best regards,
Anders @ Cureos

objo wrote at 2014-04-29 10:24:

See the SurfacePlotDemo for a similar example. Use a MeshBuilder to create a geometry of all the spheres (performance due to high number of triangles can be a problem) and use texture coordinates and a gradient material to define the fill colors! This would be a cool example to add :-) https://helixtoolkit.codeplex.com/workitem/10039

CameraController and ManipulationCompleted

mplisov wrote at 2013-03-12 14:35:

Hello,

I need some event that would be triggered when inertia after moving/zooming camera is finished.
I was hoping that it would be CameraController.ManipulationCompleted, but it doesn't get triggered.

Could you please help me on this?

Best regards Mikhail

I recommend looking at the source code for the examples and unit tests. The examples and unit tests cover most of the functionality of this library.
See "Other WPF3D links" on the home page for tutorials on the WPF 3D model. I really recommend Petzold's book!
