Hi guys,
I am using the latest release of Navisworks and its associated API in which I have implemented a custom Autodesk.Navisworks.Plugins.RenderPlugin class.
I have been drawing 2D shapes using the OverlayRenderWindow method of RenderPlugin. All seems to work well, having the shapes appear in the output view, as intended.
However if I want to save an image, there seems to be a problem. Even though these shapes are visible in the view of the Navisworks window, whenever I try to save an image using the "Output>Image" or "Output>Rendered Image" features, the 2D shapes I can see in the view aren't present in the outputted image. What happens if the user wishes to save an image of the view as is, including any 2D shapes drawn by RenderPlugin?
Cheers,
Jon
Hi,
I would think what RenderPlugin draws is a transient graphics which is not able to be saved with model. But, this is a good question / wish. I will log it.
