Interface ICamApiMaterialVO

Material aspect of a visual object: how its faces are shaded. Implemented by the same object as ICamApiVisualObject (it also exposes ICamApiRenderableVO); this is a flat : IUnknown, fetched via QueryInterface. Objects without drawable faces (e.g. a gizmo) do not implement it, so QI returns nil - which serves as feature detection. Meaningful only together with ICamApiRenderableVO.

Properties

Lit

Lighting model for the object's faces. True (the default) shades them with the scene lights; False draws them flat and self-illuminated at full color (like polylines) - useful for overlays, markers and 2D-looking annotations. Does not affect polylines, which are always unlit.

Declaration

bool Lit { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Preset

Built-in material preset selecting how the lit faces are shaded (ampStandard by default). Ignored when Lit is False, since unlit faces are drawn flat. Does not affect polylines.

Declaration

TCamApiMaterialPreset Preset { get; set; }
