Hi @Sandy_Gunner ,
currently as you mentioned the Vuforia Studio /in View / does not support point and curvs. On possibly enhancement comming soon is the highlighting of edges - which means that you can render geometry where the all edges are highlighted - this is only render option. I have no information if only the ecges could be displayed.
the issue is more general , so therefore that this could not be an easy enhancement if R&D decide to add something there. The problem there is , so far I know that the PVZ format which is a light /compressed and size minimized format for viewing/ does not contain structures for curvs and points.
Ok a point could be done as small volume -there is possibly a workaroud using a small cuboid which we could add with the JS Api
so the api is tml3dRenderer.add3DObject()
So for example you can create with folliwng code a cuboid on postion x,y,z and length , width and hight respectively dx,dy,dz and color as rgba vector
Example:
//========================
$scope.app.add3DCube = function(x,y,z,dx,dy,dz,colorVector) {
x-=dx/2; y-=dy/2 ;z+=dz/2
let vertices = [ x, y, z, x+dx, y, z, x+dx, y+dy, z, x, y+dy, z, x, y, z-dz, x, y+dy, z-dz, x+dx, y+dy, z-dz, x+dx, y, z-dz,
x, y+dy, z-dz, x, y+dy, z, x+dx, y+dy, z, x+dx, y+dy, z-dz, x, y, z-dz, x+dx, y, z-dz, x+dx, y, z, x, y, z,
x+dx, y, z-dz, x+dx, y+dy, z-dz, x+dx, y+dy, z, x+dx, y, z, x , y, z-dz, x , y, z, x , y+dy, z, x , y+dy, z-dz ];
let normals = [ 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0,0.0, 0.0, 1.0,0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0,0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0,
0.0, 1.0, 0.0,0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0,
1.0, 0.0, 0.0,1.0, 0.0, 0.0,1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0 ];
let faceIndices = [ 0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 20, 22, 23 ];
const object3DName = 'ent-'+$scope.Global_Del_Count.toString()+"-"
+($scope.Global_Count).toString() +"-"+($scope.app.xyz++).toString();
object3DNames[$scope.Global_Count].push(object3DName.trim())
tml3dRenderer.add3DObject('tracker1',object3DName, //($scope.app.xyz++).toString(),
vertices, normals, [], faceIndices, colorVector, null, null, $scope.successcallback, $scope.failcallback);
}
//=======================================================
//and usage e.g. to create a curve
let max=[1,2,3]
let min=[0,0,0]
let nump=200
$timeout(()=>{ $scope.app.createLine(min,max,nump)},2000)
///// where the create is something like this below
$scope.app.createLine=(min,max,numpoints)=>{
object3DNames[$scope.Global_Count]=[]
$scope.Global_Count=0
$scope.Global_Del_Count++
deltaX=(max[0]-min[0])/numpoints
deltaY=(max[1]-min[1])/numpoints
deltaZ=(max[2]-min[2])/numpoints
let x=0
let y=0
let z=0;
for(let i=0; i <numpoints;i++) {
x= x+deltaX
y=y+deltaY
z=z+deltaZ
console.log("x,y,z="+x+","+y+","+z+" i="+i)
$scope.app.add3DCube(x,y,z,deltaX,deltaY,deltaZ,[1.0, 0.1, 0.1, 1.0])
}
$scope.Global_Count++
}
//===============
This code above is only an example what I tested and therefore could confirm that it works but want to mentioned here that it is not the best programming style e.g. for implementing here using many cuboids - shown on the picture
So regarding to the curv creation - as it is currently not possible and it is not supported by the PVZ format - so you could use this workaround to create you curv from many points (e.g. cuboids) . There is a simple implmentation of line shown
So what I think could be better - you can create insead of curvs a small d3Sweeps - pipes which are displayed in Vuforia Studio example:
so model in onShape but this works also in Creo Parametric. And then export pvz :
And in preview:
