Preview Wall

[vanlion]

Hi,

I'm looking for the way you can create a preview of a wall like the picture below when you make a wall (see image)

I know how to do this for a normal 3d view, nice explanation at the link below. But how can you do this for a small part of a wall? Maybe someone knows a good example? i couldn't find one.

Thanks

Inside the preview control, the user can zoom in.

I am not sure whether you can preset the zoom and crop programmatically before displaying it to the user, though...

Here are some other discussions of the preview control:

The following code works for me:

private void CylinderVerificationForm_ContentRendered(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  pc.UIView.ZoomToFit();
}

Here, pc is the PreviewControl that's embedded in the form. I am executing the function on the form's ContentRendered event. The function sets the zoom to fit. In your case, you may want to use ZoomAndCenterRectangle() method instead. Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thank you both for helping. I going to try your option. 

And maybe this isn't possible with the api. The preview let's you see a small 2d part of a wall. When you add a new layer to the wall the preview directly show you the new wall you are creating.

Maybe you know this?

Hi,

I think that i found an example from the thing i'm looking for in the SDK

"newOpenings" example shows a simple 2d image when you select a floor or wall. This is what i can use with my code.

Thanks
