Hi,

Is it possible to get the Viewport3D screen 2D coordinates from a Point3D and

viceversa: getting the Point3D from a 2D point in the Viewport3D.

thanks,

Filip

See Viewport3DHelper.Point2DtoPoint3D and Viewport3DHelper.Point3DtoPoint2D

Hello, I'm trying to convert a 2D screen coordinate to a Point3D in the Viewport. But the following code don't give any result. How exactly should I get the 3D coordinates from 2D screen coordinates with this function?

 Point3D p1, p2;
 Point pIn = new Point(3, 3);
 if (Viewport3DHelper.Point2DtoPoint3D(viewport3D.Viewport, pIn, out p1, out p2))
 {
      MessageBox.Show(p1.X.ToString() + "," + p1.Y.ToString());
 }

In the HelixToolit source code the Viewport3DHelper.Point2DtoPoint3D function has no inverse of the matrixCamera and returns with false

thanks, filip

hi Filip, if your MatrixCamera has no inverse for the view/projection matrix I don't think it will be possible to un-project the point...
