Immigration questions in opennurbs 6.0

openNURBS
1

Hi guys. I am immigrating an opennurbs 5 application to 6. However, I found that the ONX_Model_Object class is entirely gone. Could I ask is there an replacement for this class in opennurbs 6? Thanks very much!

I may solve this problem. I used the component iterator to get components from model now.

I am using modelObject->Attributes(&ON_3dmObjectAttributes::DefaultAttributes) to get attributes like visibility, mode etc. However, I am not confident with this way. Is there more straightforward way to access attributes like visibility or layers of an object? Thanks for any reply in advance!

I thinks this one is fine now

Hi @sirian_ye,

The replacement ONX_Model_Object, found in earlier version of openNURBS is ON_ModelComponent. And yes, using a ONX_ModelComponentIterator iterator is the correct way for getting components.

If you need a model geometry component’s attributes, use ON_ModelGeometryComponent::Attributes.

For example:

ONX_ModelComponentIterator it(model, ON_ModelComponent::Type::ModelGeometry);
const ON_ModelComponent* model_component = nullptr;
for (model_component = it.FirstComponent(); nullptr != model_component; model_component = it.NextComponent())
{
  const ON_ModelGeometryComponent* model_geometry = ON_ModelGeometryComponent::Cast(model_component);
  if (nullptr != model_geometry)
  {
    const ON_Geometry* geometry = model_geometry->Geometry(nullptr);
    const ON_3dmObjectAttributes* attributes = model_geometry->Attributes(nullptr);
    if (nullptr != geometry && nullptr != attributes)
    {
      // TODO...
    }
  }
}

thanks very much Dale! Helps a lot.

Could I ask one more question? I am trying to access geometryList in instanceDefinition by using InstanceGeometryIdList from InstanceDefinition. However, it always return me a zero length list no matter what model i am using. Is there any better way to traverse the scene tree via instanceDefinition?

Hi @sirian_ye,

Attached is an example of traversing all of the instance definitions in a 3dm file. Note, this sample is in Rhino SDK command form, but you’ll get the idea.

cmdTestSirian.cpp (6.0 KB)

Let me know if you have any questions.

thanks very much Dale. I think I am doing the right thing, my code is generally the same idea of yours. The only problem is the InstanceGeometryIdList always contains no ids. I will give it another try.

Again thanks very much for your helpfully reply!
