Transform Sample
Transform application demonstrates usage
of ITransform
for scaling and translation of different types of objects. It also
demonstrates surface offset operation performed by
IMeshMods.Offset
Running Transform Sample
Transform.mdg model displayed by the application contains three objects of
different types. Top group of radio buttons allows selection of an object
to be transformed. The middle group of radio buttons selects the operation to be
performed. Edit boxes at the bottom allow changing either scaling factors,
translation vector or rotation axis, depending on the selected operation. The operation is
executed on each apply button. File > Reload menu option allows discarding
changes.
Translate Frame operation allows changing position of the local frame
relative to the rest of the object
For Sphere object translation operation is allowed only for translation along
z- axis because it is a Surface Of Revolution. Other translations
are possible in this situation also, but they modify shape of the object. This is
caused by the requirement for the local z axis to be axis of the rotational
symmetry.
The offset operation is available currently only for Mesh Entity type of
objects.
