Perspective Projection

apdc · Post by **apdc** » 09 Feb 2012, 03:08

Is there a way to implement a "Perspective Projection" mode like in DWG TrueView?

Opening the following DWG file:
http://download.autodesk.com/us/samplef ... ylight.dwg

In the CADImport.NET Viewer demo, it appears as (attached, top figure) on default view as flat looking.

However, if you open it in Autodesk's TrueView, it appears to have more of a 3-D look/"perspective projection" (attached, bottom figure)

Is there a way to get image to look like the bottom figure with CADImport.NET?

Hello.
CAD Import .NET current version doesn't allow viewing drawings in perspective projection. DWG TrueView allows viewing perspective projection if only 3D style mode is on. CAD Import .NET doesn't provide switching camera style, it's 2D by default. GDI+ doesn't support 3d natively, so implementing perspective view isn't reasonable. We will consider adding perspective view in OpenGL mode. Thank you for the request.

Thank you.

That would be a nice feature to have with the OpenGL mode.

Hi how do you open perspective view in opengl mode? Or has it not been added?

Hello,

The perspective view in OpenGL mode hasn't been added.
