Purpose

The module SoOrientationInset provides a small render area like an inset in illustrations whose camera is coupled with the previous camera found in the Open Inventor state. It may be used to indicate orientation of larger models.

Usage

Connect a 3D model to this module that shows the orientation of the main scene.

It is recommended to use the module SoOrientationModel.

Details

The module uses a new viewport to display the model. The camera copies its orientation from the previous camera found in the Open Inventor state and adjusts the view to display the entire model.

Visible Fields

On

name: on, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the module provides the viewport with the subscene that is oriented as the main scene.

Projection Type

name: projectionType, type: Enum, default: ORTHOGRAPHIC

Defines the camera projection type of the viewport’s subscene.

Values:

Title	Name
​Orthographic	​ORTHOGRAPHIC
​Perspective	​PERSPECTIVE
​Auto	​AUTO

Location

name: location, type: Enum, default: LOWER_LEFT

Defines the location where the subscene is rendered in the main scene viewer.

Values:

Title	Name
​Upper Left	​UPPER_LEFT
​Lower Left	​LOWER_LEFT
​Upper Right	​UPPER_RIGHT
​Lower Right	​LOWER_RIGHT

Size

name: size, type: Vector2, default: 50 50

Sets the size of the viewport in screen pixels.

Margin

name: margin, type: Vector2, default: 0 0

Sets the margin to leave to the reference corner (Location). Size As Percentage also affects this value.

Size As Percentage

name: sizeAsPercentage, type: Bool, default: FALSE

If checked, the size and margin is given as percentage.

Render Delayed Paths

name: renderDelayedPaths, type: Bool, default: TRUE

If checked, the rendering is done using the delayed path rendering of Open Inventor.

This should be disabled if direct rendering is desired or even required, e.g., if using the SoPostEffectRenderer or the SoDepthPeelRenderer.
