Thursday
Progress Report,
Today is already Thursday and only now have I been able to extract dimension information from the model. So at this point I can navigate the feature tree and pull out dimensions, this sounds like I am 3/4 there - however I am definitely NOT.
Currently I cant tell what i am getting dimensions of, so the next major task is to extract what exactly the dimensions mean. For example I can not at the moment tell whether an extrusion is based on a round object(circle) or a rectangular one.
The main reason I lost so much time this week is I got quite a bit of confusion from the fact that the API and its documentation still contains a lot of function calls tht have been deprecated. You can be reading some example code in the doco and not know that it contains deprecated commands. Also all of the examples are in VB and I have to convert them to C#.
My preliminary investigations tell me that find a description of what the dimensions are of may be quite difficult.
