New Dot NET v2.0 (Bottle Tutorial) assembly libraries for OpenCASCADE v6.2

Hello Jonathan,

since we both offer our ".NET wrappers" here, I would like to get in contact with you. I am curious about the technologies you use, the motivation, the projects you are working on with OpenCascade, your experience with OpenCascade, etc. Just fel free to mail me at g-hof-mann[at]so-fa.de (omit the "-" characters).

best regards
Gerhard

Cool! Thank you!!!

Hi, Jonathan
I convert the C# code to VB(VS2005), but there is an error about the function "MakeCompound" when debuging, it says that "Method not found: 'Void OpenCASCADEXLib.IBRep_Builder.MakeCompound(OpenCASCADEXLib.TopoDS_Compound ByRef)'.", what can I do?

Thank you!

Hello,

first thank you for publishing the MakeBottle example.

I am new to OpenCascade coding and found your wrapper to my favourite language C#.
Now i tried to read and show a step file using your sourcecode.

Here is my approach:

OpenCASCADE52.ModelingData.TKBRep.TopoDS.Interfaces.IShape topoDS_shape;

OpenCASCADE.ModelingData.TKBRep.TopTools.HSequenceOfShape sequenceofShape = new OpenCASCADE.ModelingData.TKBRep.TopTools.HSequenceOfShape();

if (OpenCASCADE.IO.ImportExport.ReadSTEP(openFileDialog.FileName, sequenceofShape) == OpenCASCADE52.DataExchange.TKXSBase.IFSelect.Interfaces.ReturnStatus.IFSelect_RetDone)
{
for (int index = 0; index < sequenceofShape.Length; index++)
{
topoDS_shape = sequenceofShape.Indexer(index);
OpenCASCADE.Visualization.TKV3d.AIS.Shape AIS_shape = new OpenCASCADE.Visualization.TKV3d.AIS.Shape(topoDS_shape);

Effect:
Reading the step file works fine... but accessing the sequenceofShape via the Indexer causes an AccessViolationError.

Question:
How do i access sequenceofShape to get topoDS_Shape, which i again need to convert to OpenCASCADE.Visualization.TKV3d.AIS.Shape for the viewer?
TopTools_HSequenceOfShape Class Reference does not seem to be equal to your wrapper code.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jonathan,

is it possible to compute a BoundingBox over an AIS_Shape? How can i do that?

my old Code was like this:

if (!entireBody.IsNull())
{
AIS_Shape entireAIS_Shape(entireBody);

Bnd_Box bounding_box = entireAIS_Shape.BoundingBox();
bounding_box.Get(xmin, ymin, zmin, xmax, ymax, zmax);
}

thanks, best regards, juri

First thanks for your wrapper
I am a C# programer and new to OpenCascade coding,Now i am making a FEM software,want to display some text in the context like billboard,I just found the OpenCASCADE.Visualization.TKV3d.Prs3d.TextAspect,where I can found the Graphic2d_Text and create it use TextAspect,
In addition,the function Context.DisplayedObjects(ref IListOfInteractive list)'parameter 'IListOfInteractive',which class that implement the interface i use to create the parameter?is it ListOfInteractive?I create it,but I failed!

thank you very much!

Hi Jonathon,

I had the same problem as someone else. I downloaded your zip file but after installation I tried to run it and got an error message that the MakeCompound method was not found. Thus, the bottle was not able to generate.

Any idea how I can correct this? I was just using the C# solution.

I was able to tinker with your solution and get some basic items to draw. I'm definitely interested in learning more about OpenCASCADE but I also want to use it in a C# solution.

Any feedback you can give is appreciated.

Thanks, R. Hill

Couldn't find a Shape.Location property... How to locate shapes with wrapper?
And more complex task: I try to create composite solid from solids (like assembly from parts in Solid Works), so:
1) How create solid from shape? (I create cylinder with MakeCylinder.Shape)...
2) How create for example cone solid, that locate at the top of cylinder? (like cap), and this must be different parts, not one solid body... And how rotate solids?...
3) How enable wireframe view? :) In original tutorial: button "Hidden ON"
Thanks
