TwoD Sample

Overview

Implementation

Model of the sample is constructed dynamically at runtime so the ModelPath property of all KernelCAD controls are empty. Construction of the model is performed by TwoDDlg::Add3DObjects() function.

The  iGenerator->Create(eObjTypeBRepSection, (IUnknown**)&iSect); line creates a new BRep type of object, which is added to the array of top-level objects of the model.

Faces of the BRep section are added using IDraw interface queried from ISection of the object. Notice that IDraw name here may be little misleading. No instant drawing happens in this function. Instead the interface is used to define the geometry.

The iView2->AddExternalModel(iMod); line in TwoDDlg::AttachView() determines that the second control, from which iView2 was queried will display objects from the first control. A replica of the object is transferred inside the m_kernView.UpdateSurface(); call in the same function.

On start of the application mode of the second (view) control is set to 2D with a call iView2->SetViewType(eViewType2D) in TwoDDlg::Init(CKernelcadctrl1& kernCAD)

The two dimensional scene is generated by projecting the 3D object onto x and y plane of the frame of the 2D View. The frame is accessed in TwoDDlg::Get2DView(CKernelcadctrl1& kernCAD) via queering IFrame from context of the view. Orientation of the frame and hence the side displayed in the 2D view is manipulated in
TwoDDlg::OnRotateUp() and following handlers on clicks of the buttons in the bottom right corner.

The More > Direct 2D menu option opens DirectDlg dialog from TwoDDlg::OnMoreDirect() handler. The major difference in definition of the object geometry inside DirectDlg::DefineGeometry(IView* iView) is that IDraw is queried from I2DView_KC instead of ISection. It forces the shape to be created as a standalone 2D item.
