Howdy,

It seems that ViewportSelect::GetNearestEdge() only selects the nearest edge, even though there may be two edges within the given tool radius. I've tried checking the ViewportPixel's next parameter (vp->next) but it's always NULL;

If one of the end points of the nearest edge is within the tool's radius, I can use the Neighbor class to find the edges that share that point, but how can I get all of the edges within the radius if none of the edges' endpoints are within that radius?

Adios,
Cactus Dan

Howdy,

Any word on this?

I can easily calculate the distance to all edges of the polygon, but this doesn't work in isoline editing mode.

Is there another way to get the edges that are within the tools radius, that will also support isoline editing mode?

Adios,

Try

ViewportPixel* GetPixelInfoPoint(LONG x, LONG y);
ViewportPixel* GetPixelInfoPolygon(LONG x, LONG y);
ViewportPixel* GetPixelInfoEdge(LONG x, LONG y);

You can iterate over all pixels in the selection area and call these. Its quite fast so it shouldn't be the bottleneck, if your are worried about that.

Hmmmm, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks Michael. ;o)

Howdy,

Well, that works good when the brush radius is 10, but when the radius is 50 it starts to get sluggish.

Any other ideas on how to improve the performance when the brush radius is bigger?

Howdy,

Ah, OK. I've figured out something that works faster. Using the PointLineDistance() function I calculate a vector to the closest point of the neighboring edge, and then only sample the pixels along that vector (from 0 to tool radius). ;o)

Howdy,

Well, the performance still isn't as good as I'd like to see. :o(

If the view is zoomed out so that the tool's brush radius encompasses more polygons than just the neighboring ones to the polygon under the mouse, some of them don't get selected. :o(

Any insights into how the live selection tool in Cinema 4D handles it?
