3D Path Generator - Article no. 000032

This example demonstrates the use of the visualization element ‘Path3D’. Path3D is designed to be used in combination with CODESYS SoftMotion (see the CNC 3D Editor example). However, this example shows the application of it independently from CODESYS SoftMotion.
This example is now available for you in CODESYS Forge.

A path with 2200 points in the shape of a gate is created in this example. The generated path is visualized in yellow. Parts of the path are highlighted in red, by setting the member variable udiSourceElementID of VisuStruct3DPathPoint and the visualization property Highlighting variable. The track is calculated from the points of the path.

The data structure ‘VisuStruct3DTrack’ of System_VisuElem3DPath.library is used for hosting the points of the path and the track.
