"Enhancement Request" Functionality to display curves and points in Vuforia View

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:
