extract model dimensions and bound the rotation #128

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello!

I like really much your nice tool and I have two questions for you.

First of all, I was wondering if there was a way to extract the actual metric 
dimensions of the model and show them in the canvas.

Secondly, is there a way to bound the rotation of the model in order to prevent 
to see, e.g., the bottom or one side?

Thank you in advance and regards,
Erica

Hi, Erica:

1. The rough dimension info can be estimated from the (axis-aligned) bounding 
box of the scene object. A good example is this one: 
http://jsc3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/jsc3d/demos/hotel.html, where a wire box 
is calculated and displayed using this method. The bounding box object is 
documented here: 
http://jsc3d.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/jsc3d/docs/symbols/JSC3D.AABB.html.

2. Currently not. But since this has been reported several times, I'll consider 
it for future release.

I'm glad you like this tool :-)

Thank you very much for your useful tips!!

I'd like to show you what I have done and how I'm using your nice and clever 
tool ;)

This is an example of landing page for one of our 3D models

Bravo!

I read a book last year on ancient buildings of Italy, which uses a full 
chapter to introduce the remains in the vicinity of Paestum and focuses on the 
Basilica and the Heraion. And I learned more exciting details from your project 
:-)  I'm sure it will be of great help for people being interested in ancient 
Greek artifacts and culture, too.

If you could make time to write me a brief description of your work, I'll be 
very glad to introduce it on this page: 
http://code.google.com/p/jsc3d/wiki/Applications.

Thanks a lot for showing me this great project!
