DynamicDraw not showing up

Hello,

I am building a command to raise/lower vertices of a mesh on every mouse click. I would like to visualize the region which includes the selected vertices using a circle. I thought DynamicDraw would do this by actively drawing a circle as I hover over various regions, but for some reason it doesn’t work. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong in this code?

Thank you in advance!

I think you need to change the order of Get() and DynamicDraw(). First register the event callback, the ask the user for the point.

Yes, that worked! Thank you very much.
