Implements a strongly-typed container that indicates to the user when the application should draw something. This node is not necessary for rendering, but it can be useful if you want to group related elements together.
Class registration and implementation information is as follows:
Category | Documentation |
---|---|
Implementation | C++ |
Module | Core-App-Geometry |
Class Hierarchy | Node » Group » DrawNode |
Data Interface Name | DrawNode |
Type Status | Active |
Is Final Type | Yes |
Properties are as follows:
Property | Documentation |
---|---|
Visible | Toggles the <Group>'s visible/invisible". Child nodes are not visible when their parent <Group>'s is invisible. |
Collisions | Toggles collision detection on the <Group> node and its children". This is used for runtime export and has no effect in Scenome applications. |
Cull | Toggles view volume culling on/off". modifying this parameter may cause incorrect culling and other unexpected consequences. |
Preserve Camera | This option is undocumented at present. |
Generic Data Source | This option provides the capability to connect a <Group>'s to a node that serves as a generic data source. |
Bounding Box Frozen | Freezes the bounding box at its current size. This is often used as a runtime flag, and modifying this parameter may cause incorrect culling. |
Minimum X | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the X axis. |
Minimum Y | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the Y axis. |
Minimum Z | Displays the minimum bounding box coordinate on the Z axis. |
Maximum X | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the X axis. |
Maximum Y | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the Y axis. |
Maximum Z | Displays the maximum bounding box coordinate on the Z axis. |
Transform Locked | Locks the node and prevents transformation of the node and its children. This is a runtime flag and has no effect in Scenome applications. |
Position X | Displays the node's position on the X axis. |
Position Y | Displays the node's position on the Y axis. |
Position Z | Displays the node's position on the Z axis. |
Orientation X | Displays the node's orientation on the X axis. |
Orientation Y | Displays the node's orientation on the Y axis. |
Orientation Z | Displays the node's orientation on the Z axis. |
Scale X | Displays the node's scale on the X axis. |
Scale Y | Displays the node's scale on the Y axis. |
Scale Z | Displays the node's scale on the Z axis. |
Billboard | Sets the node as a billboard. Billboards rotate to face the camera. This feature has been preserved for compatibility purposes, but this functionality should be implemented with geometry shaders. |
Properties are as follows:
Property | Documentation |
---|---|
Name | Sets the name of the node. Do not use / or \ [forward slash and backslash] in the node name as this produces conflicts with resolving link nodes that reference external files. |
Class | Sets the class of the node. |
ID | Sets the ID of the node. This must be unique for each document, but different documents can use the same ID. |
Export Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is exported during an export process, or possibly other purposes. |
Guid | Enumerates the Node's GUID. |
