This article explains the basic concept of assembly navigation. For a better understanding, it is recommended to read the RootBlock article first. For an advanced implementation of this feature, you can see the code of the AssemblyDemo sample. Take for example a simple scene with two blocks, in addition to the root one. Block red = new Block("Red"); red.Entities.Add(Brep…

Eyeshot 2023 includes a Block, called RootBlock, that represents the scene root. This means that every single piece of geometry is always inside a Block definition. There is no longer a collection of entities associated with the environment, the Workspace.Entities collection is now a shortcut that refers always to a Block.Entities collection, normally of the R…

If you want to recreate the features of a 2D viewer (for example, only on the XY plane) you can do it with Eyeshot by means of the tips reported in this article.The following code allows simulating the basic features of a 2D viewer: enables the orthographic projection mode, disables the rotation on the 3D space, leaving only the one on the XY plane enabled. design1.Activ…

In Eyeshot ProgressBar can be used only in asynchronous WorkUnits (the ones ran with model.StartWork()). In case you would like to use ProgressBar in a synchronous way, independently from WorkUnits, updating its value when needed and then calling Invalidate(), you can use this trick:   Derive ProgressBar class and expose its Draw method: public class MyProgressBar : de…

It is common the need to draw an entity that will be shown above all other entities. For this task, there is not a univocal answer and there are different solutions that can be implemented based on the working context. For one of them, you can use the approach shown here. Here, we discuss the possibility to use our TempEntities to achieve this task.  Here is a sample code: B…
