Implements a graph-based representation of the <item> interface element.
Class registration and implementation information is as follows:
| Category | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Implementation | C++ |
| Module | Plugin-Nodes-Shell |
| Class Hierarchy | Node » Group » ItemElementNode |
| Data Interface Name | ItemElementNode |
| Type Status | Active |
| Is Final Type | Yes |
Properties are as follows:
| Property | Documentation |
|---|---|
| Command Status: Removed | Indicates the underlying command has been removed. |
| Command Status: Deprecated | Indicates the underlying command has been deprecated. |
| Command Status: Active | Indicates the underlying command is active. |
| Command Status: Disabled | Indicates the underlying command has been disabled. |
| Command Mode: Release | Indicates the command item should be built only if the application build is set to release. |
| Command Mode: Debug | Indicates the command item should be built only if the application build is set to debug. |
| Command Name | The Simdify Scripting Language name of the command this interface item represents. For example: 'EditDeleteSelectedNodes'. |
| Transformed Command Name | For certain commands that used popup menus or dynamically generated names, this provides a method to allow a build process to connect a generic macro to a very specific behavior or functionality. |
| Guid | The guid of the macro. This is declared in the command macro header. |
| Package | The package in which the macro is grouped. This is declared in the command macro header. |
| Images | If true, instances of the command in the user interface use an icon if it has been declared in the macro header. |
| Text | If true, instances of the command in the user interface use text. This should only be false if the macro header contains an icon declaration. |
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 Simdify 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 Simdify 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 orthe 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. |
| Import Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is imported during an import process such as when nodes are imported from a template during document creation. Note that this flag is mostly in Simdify Scripting language. |
| Export Disabled | Determines whether or not the node is exported during an export process, or possibly other purposes. This flag is set to No and current Simdify exporters ignore it (but it can be very useful if you need to modify the exporters). |
| Guid | Enumerates the Node's GUID. |
