This tutorial teaches you how to create a 3D object, which then can be converted to a mesh and saved.
' Change the volume type of the rendered object to SSD
control3D.ObjectsContainer.VolumeType = Medical3DVolumeType.SSD
[C#]
// Change the volume type of the rendered object to SSD
control3D.ObjectsContainer.VolumeType = Medical3DVolumeType.SSD;
this.Show()
this.Update()
[C#]
this.Show();
this.Update();
// Save the mesh under the name TestMesh.
control3D.ObjectsContainer.Objects[0].SSD.SaveMesh("C:\TestMesh.x")
[C#]
// Save the mesh to a file
control3D.ObjectsContainer.Objects[0].SSD.SaveMesh(@"C:\TestMesh.x");
Note: If you open C:\ through Windows Explorer, you will notice the mesh was saved as “TestMesh.x”.
