Add SavedView using API

JanneTS — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:52:43 GMT

Is it possible to add a SavedView using API? Tried the code below but it crashes NavisWorks

ComApi.InwOpState10 oState = ComApiBridge.ComApiBridge.State;

object CView = oState.CurrentView.Copy();

oState.SavedViews().Add(CView);

OK, got it

SavedViews().Add wants an InwOpView, not an InwOpAnonView

Creating the SavedView and setting the ViewPoint of the InwOpAnonView work OK.

However,

ClippingPlanes().Add(InwLPlane3f)

of the InwOpAnonView creates an exception

"<<NavisWorks Error - Not implemented>>"

what does this mean?

Seems to me that adding a section plane using API is just impossible. Can anybody confirm this, that would help a lot?

Did you have any success with this? I think we are tackling the same issue.

//gets current View
nw.InwOpAnonView view = _state.CurrentView.Copy() as nw.InwOpAnonView;

//how to apply this view?
_state.ApplyView(view); //this fails as it wants a InwOpView
