Hi!
I want to draw 3D objetcts like the picture number one. It has to have opaque flat walls and sections of the upper wall of every wall has to be cylindrical.

Till now, I managed to do several first downs but I'm still in my forties. I need to draw cylindrical surface opaque sections. My achievements are shown in picture number two.

Is there way to draw a cylindrical opaque section surface with axis parallel to the depth axis?

any hint ?

Thanks ...

Hello,

I've been playing with your project from here and found the functions we provide don't allow to draw some polygons so I've added this to the public tracker (#2427).

Hi!

Is there any advance in this topic?

Hello,

With Polygon3D (#2427) function you'll be able to get this:

Note that's still not a real arc. So it's done by drawing polygons side by side.

Thanks for your response Yeray!

Both post are related. I'm just seen that there is a response in this thread: Is it posible to draw opaque cylinder surfaces in tchart.ocx.

The second post is about 3D flat polygons not parallel to cartesian planes.

For parallel 3D planes to cartesian, I'm using after_draw method of the tChart and the canvas methods of the series:
PolygonWithZ, RectangleWithZ, Plane3D and RectangleY, but what about tilted planes?

The cylindrical surface I'm trying to draw has its axis parallel to Depth axis (z coordinate). The code you attach produces cylindrical surfaces with axis colineal to left axis (y coordinates). I hope it can be modified to make it colinear to depth axis.

I hope you can give me a hint about how to draw 3D flat polygons not parallel to cartesian planes

Thanks ...

Looks great Yeray!

But there is something wrong with my teeChart software installation.

I copied the code you provided but I got an error.
For some reason, the Canvas.Polygon3D method it's not recognized in my Excel-VBA instalation.

I'm attaching two screen shots of the code and the error.

What's wrong with my TeeChart Software...?

I'm sorry for the confusion. There's no TeeChart ActiveX version with Polygon3D function published yet.

With Polygon3D (#2427) function you'll be able to get this

I meant I was testing that function with a test version.
I will send you this test version so you can give it a try.

Thank you Yerai!

Hi Yeray!

It's been two weeks since you offered to me a test version of teeChart control. Till now, I have'nt recived any link or
zip file to download it. Sorry, if I'm looking so rude, it's not my intention, I'm trying to be as polite as
I can be asking for it. Is there any link from I can download the test version?

Tanks ...

Hello,

Sorry for the late response here.
I sent a mail with a link with the download to the mail you have registered in this forum the 9th June.

Thanks for your answer. I sent you an email with another email address. I hope I can download the test version now.

Thanks again ..
