MeshBuilder Revolve WPF Lines

Hello,

Is it possible to use MeshBuilder to create a revolved mesh from WPF lines and arcs?

Thank you!

see the AddRevolvedGeometry method:

public void AddRevolvedGeometry(IList<Point> points, Point3D origin, Vector3D direction, int thetaDiv)

Thanks for the quick reply. I was wondering, though, if I could take a WPF object like Path and revolve that. If not, do you have a small sample app that utilizes MeshBuilder for creating revolves? I couldn't find any uses in the sample applications.

Thank you.

Most of the Visual3D classes in the toolkit is using the MeshBuilder to generate the geometry. See the ArrowVisual3D.Tesselate() method (using an AddArrow method that again uses AddRevolvedGeometry).

No, the revolve method is not accepting Path objects (this would be more work to support all the different path segment types), it just takes a simple list of points.
