3D Real-time Visualization

Ben,

I tried opening this zip file again, and there are missing files, flip_odd_segments, Gen_W Z and pipe, Average Down, Toss Outliers, Create Data Set.vi.

If you cancel out you can still see the graphics from the last saved session.  I think my interest at the time was just to see the flow and the way you used the CWPlot's.

So it was fine if vi's were missing the general flow wasn't.

Regards,

After an e-mail from R&D...

Yes there are sub-VI's missing from that zip. I have located those and reviewed the code and decided that in the interest of posting only good code to the forums, I will NOT post those sub-VIs. Most of the sub-VIs only masage the data into a form acceptable to the 3d graph (collected as a spiral reformatted as a mesh) are just adventures in array manipulation. Please see this thread if you are trying to find examples of the CW 3D graph.

Thank you,

Ben

Hello,

I was looking at that example for the 3D pipe and noticed that it used Component Works. If I understand right, Component Works is available as part of Measurement Studio, provided you get the Professional or above package. 

I am wondering if the same thing can be done with LV native 3D components?

It looks like the code is creating a 3d mesh of a pipe and then adjusting the radial points according to the "flat" data. LV has a mesh object. Is there some reason why Component Works was preferred over LV native functions?

Thanks!

Somedays I should not be let out without a keeper.

So the CW components come with LV and do not require a separate purchase. This is why I was able to open the VIs from Ben.

Also Ben is not using mesh as I thought at first but parametric surfaces. 

Hopefully I will wake up before the day is over.
