Hi,
the Express VI "Sensor mapping" puts a 3D text object into the scene:
the text position follows the mouse position, like a pointer.
The text is never hidden by the solid, irrespective of the its orientation
(see attached picture).
This is not trivial: using the "pick point" method I tried to do the same thing in one of my Vis:
a (actually) slighlty shifted text is inserted into the scene: when the mouse moves
the text changes its position. However, and this is expected, when the orientation
of the solid is changed the text is hidden: see the other figure.
How to obtain the "sensor mapping" effect (without using transparency)?
Thanks in advance
Giovanni
