Hello,
I have a problem that seems very simple.
I'm creating a tetrahedron using the Graphic3d_ArrayOfTriangleStrips class.
It's well showned when I use this code in the Compute function :
Handle(Graphic3d_ArrayOfTriangleStrips) aTriangleStripsArray = new Graphic3d_ArrayOfTriangleStrips(6, 6, Standard_False, Standard_True, Standard_False, Standard_False);
//Add 6 vertices
aTriangleStripsArray->AddVertex(...)
//Display
Handle(Graphic3d_Group) aGroup = Prs3d_Root::CurrentGroup(aPresentation);
Handle(Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d) myFillAspect = myDrawer->ShadingAspect()->Aspect();
Graphic3d_MaterialAspect mat;
mat.SetReflectionModeOff(Graphic3d_TOR_AMBIENT);
mat.SetReflectionModeOn(Graphic3d_TOR_DIFFUSE);
mat.SetReflectionModeOff(Graphic3d_TOR_SPECULAR);
mat.SetReflectionModeOff(Graphic3d_TOR_EMISSION);
myFillAspect->SetFrontMaterial(mat);
aGroup->BeginPrimitives();
aGroup->AddPrimitiveArray(aTriangleStripsArray);
aGroup->EndPrimitives();
When a apply an OpenGl clipping plane, the tetrahedon is well cut but it's not a solid shape. I can see the interior and I don't want this behaviour. (see capture)
How can I fill the tetrahedron ?
Thank you very much for your help

Hi Mathieu,
Your TriangleStrip is only an OpenGL representation. In my opinion, if you wish to fill in your mesh with matter, you have to create a TopoDS_Solid from TopoDS_Edge, Vertex and Face. But maybe OCC is not the most suitable tool for advanced mesh visualization.

Hi,
Thank you Thomas for your answer.
If I create a TopoDS_Solid object, it's too slow for my application... (I have more than 1 million tetrahedron...)
Do you advise me to directly use OpenGl to fill my mesh with matter ?
I don't know if it's possible to do that directly with opengl or if I need to use a visualization engine (like opencascade or VTK).
I'm looking for informations, thank you for your help
