Can I get the Point3D when click?

[pollyanna23]

Hi,

Can I get the Point3D of wherever I click in the model just like the measure tool? I just know I can get the screen coordinate X and Y.

Thanks!

Anna

Hi,

so, as said in the other post, the new plugin InputPlugin or ToolPlugin allows you to get the picked point:

 public override bool MouseDown(
            //the current view when mouse down
            View view, 
            //Enumerates key modifiers used in input:
            //None, Ctrl,Alt,Shift
            KeyModifiers modifiers,
            //left mouse button:1,
            //middle mouse button:2,
            //right mouse button:3
            ushort button,
            //screen coordinate x
            int x,
            //screen coordinate y
            int y, 
            // not clear to me :-( 
            double timeOffset)
        {
            // key modifiers used in input
            Debug.Print(modifiers.ToString());
            //left/middle mouse
            Debug.Print(button.ToString());
            //timeOffset
            Debug.Print(timeOffset.ToString());
 
            // get info of selecting
            PickItemResult itemResult = 
                         view.PickItemFromPoint(x, y);
 
            if (itemResult != null)
            { 
                //selected point in WCS
               string oStr = string.Format( 
                "{0},{1},{2}", itemResult.Point.X,
                              itemResult.Point.Y,
                              itemResult.Point.Z);
               Debug.Print(oStr);
 
                //selected object
                ModelItem modelItem = itemResult.ModelItem;
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show ( 
                              modelItem.ClassDisplayName);
            }
 
            return false;
        }

Xiaodong ,

Is it only available in 2014?

How about in API viewcontrol? Is it possible to get mouse click XYZ point too?

[xiaodong_liang]

Hi  alankong ,

yes, this is a new feature of 2014.

Unfortunetely, the ability has not been exposed with application of .NET control.

Dear Xiaodong,

Is it still not possible to get the XYZ with application in .NET?

Best Regards,

John

Hi John,

sorry for late response. about getting the XYZ with application in .NET control, as far as I know, there is not any update. Sorry for the bad news.

Anyway, thanks for your update.

Best Regards,

John
