Hello Felix I assume you mean linear extrusion? Yes it is doable with DG Kernel and is not that complicated. There is some coding to do. It is not very common functionality so we do not have a ready-to-use algorithm, but again, it is not that hard. I would suggest creating a simplest test case (a bo...

Hello Elph What you need is to get IFrame* from the entity and define it in such a way that it is an image of standard(=global) frame under your transform. Assuming the matrix is orthogonal (determinant is 1.0) and is 3x3, taking columns and copying them as axes to the frame should do the trick. If ...

Hello
Good points. Thank you. We will look into it in the coming versions

Hi Gab This is an interesting project. We do not have a high level solution, but we have tools to implement it in your application. What I think would be involved there is: - Collision detection (Collision Path, Collision and Metrics samples) - Obtaining surface points with surface normal (Collision...

Hi Eric
Not really. Those curves are called geodesics. It is a different algorithm.
For convex case two notions coincide as ESP would always lie on the surface.

Hi No its not a bug. We have added it recently to get debugger working for .mdg for ourselves mostly and for some advanced users. Basics like import/export, Model Explorer and debugger are working, but we do not have time to finish it properly and it was not promised in 6.0. So it is "as it is" unpu...

To make a single object SOR you would need to use KC interface: - Query IStdShape from IModel_DG or IModel. - Call IStdShape.Cylinder(double baseRadius, double topRadius, double height, ISection** cylinder), which will return ISection* cylinder - Query cylinder > IStrip > IStripTopol - Use IStripTop...

The simplest way is to create a new cylinder using IStdShape_DG.Cylinder() http://www.dynoinsight.com/Help/V6_0/Interface/Model/Entity/IStdShape_DG.aspx#Cylinder for each section separately. It is oriented correctly by default. You need to add the new objects to the model to have it in the scene: IM...

This should be simple The main thing is to obtain the diameters and lengths of each section. - List all vertices in the mesh. See Morph sample for an example - Convert them to pairs (z, d) = (z, distance to z axis). All these points will define profile of the target SOR - determine max d in the set....

Hi Grady
Are the cylinders aligned or coaxial?

We do not have a generic functionality for that, but in this special case there are ways to get a pretty good result. More after your answer
