Hi objo,

I'm trying to use the TerrainVisual3D class and I'm supplying it with a .bt file created with vTerrain's VTBuilder, however when it's rendered it shows up as a cube with a bunch of lines going through the center.  I'm just wondering if the .bt file needs to be created in any specific format?

Thanks very much,

jacobya

this sounds like a bug in the importer, can you compare with the .bt file in the example included in this project?

I changed the Projection type of the .bt file from Geographic to UTM and I also changed the Datum from "North American Datum 1983" to "World Geodetic System 1984" and this seemed to render something closer to a terrain.  I went in again and reduced the size of my terrain and it seemed to render everything properly.  Thanks for your help!

I want to move black mesh relative to the green mesh as shown in the attached image below. I want to make green mesh parent to the black mesh as the change in scale of the green mesh also will result in motion of the black mesh. It could be partial parenting or may be more. I need 3D rotation and 3D transition + transition along green mesh's length axis for the black mesh, relative to the green mesh itself.
Suppose a variable green_mesh_scale causing scale for the green mesh along its length axis. The black mesh will use that variable in order to move along green mesh's length axis.
How to go about it further?

Image: In image black mesh is moving relative to the change in scale of the green mesh.

I've done as follows:

GeometryModel3D GreenMesh, BlackMesh;

// ...

double green_mesh_scale = e.NewValue;

Transform3DGroup forGreen = new Transform3DGroup();

Transform3DGroup forBlack = new Transform3DGroup();

forGreen.Children.Add(new ScaleTransform3D(new Vector3D(1, green_mesh_scale , 1)));

// ... transforms for rotation n transition

GreenMesh.Transform = forGreen ;

forBlack = forGreen;

forBlack.Children.Add(new TranslateTransform3D(new Vector3D(0, green_mesh_scale, 0)));

BlackMesh.Transform = forBlack;

The problem with this is the scale transform will also be applied to the black mesh. I think i just need to avoid the scale part.
I tried keeping all the transforms but scale, on another Transform3DGroup variable but that also not behaving as expected.
Can MatrixTransform3D be used here some how?

maybe you should try Stack overflow for this? I don't see any features from this library used here... :)

Hello all,

This toolkit looks amazing, takes much of the grunt work out of building 3D wpf graphics. I am wondering how large a task it would be to build an ActiveX control using this toolkit? I have a requirement to build a control that can draw:

- 3D Cylinders and cones (with different textures)

- Rectangular 'pipes' (tubing)

- Text to annotate objects in the 3D space

- Lines and polylines

- Apply different colors and lighting to the scene

- Rotate, zoom, pan, print and export the 3D view

I am very new to Visual Studio... Thanks.

Sorry, I don't know more about using WPF in COM/ActiveX.
