Creating a C# application to interact with geometry in main application

Objectives

• Create a separate application in C# which works with geometry model.

Practical part

• Open the repository in our GitVerse account and clone it.
• Find the directory Geometry. This folder contains two examples, one of them shows how to work with importer and the second shows how to use geometry model.
• Open project ExtensionUtilityGeometryModelNet\project\main\ExtensionUtilityGeometryModelNet.csproj.
• Build the project.
• Run SprutCAM separately.
• Open Setting, go to the tab Extensions.
• Press Install, select the file ExtensionUtilityGeometryModelNet\project\main\ExtensionUtilityGeometryModelNet.settings.json.
• Return to the main window and press Import, select the model Models\Milling_3D\49-1.igs from examples.
• After the model import is completed, find the utilities button in the upper left corner and run one of utilities:
  • Export geometry node - this utility exports current geometry model to .osd file;
  • Transform geometry node - this utility transforms current geometry model;
  • Select colored geometry nodes - this utility changes color of nodes and selects then in the main window.
