3d Cursor in a 3d Picture Control.

[JamesKent]

Overview

This example shows how to create a cursor in a 3d picture control. This can accomplished fairly easily using property and invoke nodes with a 3d graph, however in a 3d picture control we need to be a bit more creative.

Description

In this VI, three cylinder objects are created and offset 90 degrees to each other in each axis so they produce a 3d crosshair. This is then moved about the scene using absolute transforms which are controlled by controls on the front panel. The camera is also controlled in this way and always oriented and targeted at the origin of the crosshair.

Steps to Run Code

1) Open 3dCursor.vi.

  2) Run VI.
