Purpose¶

Macro that creates a layout using an mdl file and embeds viewers found in the connected inventor graph.

Usage¶

Specify mdl file containing the layout
Connect a graph that conatins SoRenderAreas that are named like the viewers in the MDL file

Details¶

A SoRenderArea with the name “view1” is referenced by the MDL as follows:

Viewer view1.self {
  name = view1
  type = SoRenderArea
}

The macro uses a DynamicFrame control to realize the MDL described layout. Then it searches for the render area and instanciates an internal macro of the same name which is then found by the layout.
