Looking for 3D component

Post by David C »

Hi

I am looking for an Active X component that I can add to existing software that can do:
- 3D visualization
- Can open an 3D step file and display it. Ability to orbit, move up and down along the model, and zoom in and out. A zoom property, X,Y, Z value property of the view of the model, would be required
- Display the path of an object that is moving within and outside the 3D model. Would need exposure to the X,Y, and Z properties of the position of the object in relation to the position and dimensions of the model
- Coordinates have to be relative to a reference point. We would need to the reference point to be displayed for the X and Y, of both model and object position

Would KernelCAD be able to do this? We need some custom component as we do not do any programing on our side

Thank You

Dear David,
Welcome to DInsight.

We have been in the CAD component business for fifteen years. We have actually pioneered this marked niche. We have many customers in US, Europe and Asia. They are mostly engineering businesses

- KernelCAD is an ActiveX component developed in C++. It supports any environment which can consume ActiveX controls. We have numerous samples with source code for C#,VB.Net ,C++,Delphi,and VB6
- 3D visualization. Yes we support all aspects of 3D graphics: 3D navigation, animation, visibility, transparency, colors, textures, instancing, etc. All functionality is programmable as well as interactive
- Yes we support step format both ways. Moving and obtaining information about position and orientation of an object is one of our strongest points. There are many code examples for that.
- The movement path can be displayed with few lines of code. For the case when the path is inside, the external object can be hidden, showed with wires, made transparent, etc.
- Yes it can be implemented in global coordinates or relative to any other set of axes, location and orientation of which can be defined and manipulated at runtime. We can show sets of global axes and local axes for each object. These can be rendered in different ways: lines or solid with different colors. In addition to that we have an icon which can be displayed to show orientation of global axes

Yes we do lots of features on request and customisations. We are very competitive on price.
