Anyway, i'll add my custom offset to the mouse coordinate to match the point from the center, as seem by default.

Thanks R, the insert was an error, i already corrected. OBJECT_USECACHECOLOR work as expected

Cheers

Ok, I miss to use OBJECT_USECACHECOLOR. I found it on this older post:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/6674/7275_setting-xray-for-virtual-objects/8

Thanks Cairyn for the test.

Yes, is a right question ... let me check.

Hi all, i'm trying to generate an XRAY pyramid inside the GetVirtualObjects() without luck.
Here my source code:

		BaseObject* pyramid = BaseObject::Alloc(Ocone);
		if (pyramid) {
			BaseContainer* cone_bc = pyramid->GetDataInstance();
			const Float pyra_height = 0.75;
			const Vector v1 = Vector(0.0, 1.0, 0.0);
			const Vector v2 = Vector(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
			const Vector v3 = Vector(0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
			const Vector center = bot_pos + Vector(0.0, pyra_height, 0.0);

			const Matrix mg = Matrix(center, v2, v1, v3);
			pyramid->SetMg(mg);

			cone_bc->SetFloat(PRIM_CONE_TRAD, mid_lower * supp_scale);
			cone_bc->SetFloat(PRIM_CONE_BRAD, mid_lower * 2.0 * supp_scale);
			cone_bc->SetFloat(PRIM_CONE_HEIGHT, pyra_height);
			cone_bc->SetFloat(PRIM_CONE_HSUB, 1);
			cone_bc->SetFloat(PRIM_CONE_SEG, subdivision);

			cone_bc->SetBool(PRIM_CONE_CAPS, true);
			cone_bc->SetInt32(PRIM_CONE_CSUB, 1);
			cone_bc->SetInt32(PRIM_CONE_FSUB, fstep);

			// Try to set Xray ---------------------------
			ObjectColorProperties prop;
			pyramid->GetColorProperties(&prop);
			prop.xray = true;
			pyramid->SetColorProperties(&prop);
			pyramid->SetParameter(ID_BASEOBJECT_XRAY, GeData(TRUE), DESCFLAGS_SET_0);
			pyramid->Message(MSG_UPDATE); 

			// Try also with Container -------------------
			cone_bc->SetBool(ID_BASEOBJECT_XRAY, true);
			
			doc->InsertObject(pyramid, ret, nullptr);
		}

Thanks in advance

Hi Maxime,
thanks for reply. I'm in a ToolData plugin. The viewport is where I would like use a custom mouse cursor.

Hi Maxime. Thanks for reply. At last I used the BVHTree for that.

Hi all,

how can I set the coordinate of touch point of my custom icon?
I registered 2 png icons and it work as expected with GetCursorInfo.. but the touch point of my custom mouse cursor are in the center of bitmap. I would like to set it precise or my arrow don't work.

Thanks in advance
Renato

Seem that the normal is returned by SnapCore::Snap in SnapResult::mat.v2. I'm verifying

Hi all,
I tried the code described in this thread: https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/6626/7199_r14-snap-system/10
This code inside the liquitool example work as expected.
But if i try to use SnapCore::Intersect instead SnapCore::Snap, to get the normal at point, this code don't work.

This is the line that I changed to:
if (snap->Intersect(pos, norm, false, res)) instead if (snap->Snap(pos, res))

Seem that the intersection don't work anymore.

Any help?
Thanks in advance
Renato T.
