Metrics Sample
Metrics sample demonstrates calculation
of distances, and nearest points between two objects and usage of
IMetrics.Dist method.
Running the application
The application expects the model to have at least two top level objects.
Names of the first and the second objects are displayed on the right-hand side
of the form. The Calculate button calculates distances between the two objects
and displays the result in 3D view.
By default, pairs of the nearest points are rendered connected with a red segment
in 3D view. Check boxes in the Display group allow turning on and off
rendering shortest distances, nearest points and normals.
When "Find All" check box is on, all pairs of nearest points (at the same
distances in this sample) are found and displayed.
More.
"Include Children" check box forces the algorithm to consider children of
both objects as single object with its parent.
The Move Object control group allows changing position and orientation of
either of the two objects. The movement is performed relative to the current
location and orientation of the local frame of the object. Show check box
displays or hides the local frame.
The "Is Closer Than" controls allow to determine whether the objects are
closer than the distance specified in the edit box.
File menu allows loading new and saving the current model.
