The application
3DBugger sample does not use any DG Kernel component by default. The
DG Kernel is loaded dynamically in debug configuration when there is need to
display intermediate results in 3D.
The application demonstrates calculation of intersection of a 3D pyramid with
a plane.
Corners of the pyramid are located at points: (0, 0, 0) (1, 0, 0)
(0, 2, 0) and (0, 0, 3).
The dialog displays location and orientation of the plane. When user clicks
Calculate button the application launches DG Kernel Debugger in separate window
and displays intermediate results as 3D objects.
Copy 3DBugger folder from installation directory into appropriate working
folder. Open the project.
Try a "dry run" first by starting the application and pressing the Calculate
button. If the debugger window does not appear in a couple of seconds launch 3D Debugger from the Start menu and select Debug > Start from the menu. This
will switch the display to wire frame, open Model explorer and the application
will be waiting for the next dump operation.. If the default 3D
stream is not empty its
contents will be displayed. In this case select Action > Delete All in menu of
Model Explorer to clear the window.
