Add objects runtime

hsa76 — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 11:12:53 GMT

Hi,

I am working on a plugin for NavisWorks. One of the things I am trying to achieve, is adding a sphere to the view programmatically.

Can this be achieved?

Thanks,

Havard

hi Håvard,

you use graphics.Sphere(oCenter, 1);

see example code in http://adndevblog.typepad.com/aec/2014/01/closest-grid-point-intersection-to-an-object.html

the code example was made by Xiaodong Liang

regards

Ulrik

Thanks Ulrik!

Hi Havard,
yes, if you just wanted to create client graphics to indicate something in the scene, the blog Ulrik mentioned could be a reference.

While if you wanted to add concrete objects to the models (even become a section of the hierarchy of the original model), that is not supported. What you can do is to produce the graphics in a separate model and append/merge to the document.
