Triangle and Text Demo

Guys,

In C++ I had written some code that would put either a triangle or the name of the object above the center of the object. The triangle or name would scale so that no matter how much you zoomed in or out the triangle or name would stay the same size in the view window. Cliff has requested that I get this brought into Flexscript and posted here on the forum.

The attached model contains two sphere objects that have this draw code. You can change whether the spheres draw nothing, their name, or a triangle by changing the DrawType label to 0, 1, or 2 respectively. There are four other labels on each item that you can change to adjust the sizes of the name or triangle in the different views. To change the color of the triangle or text just change the color of the sphere object.

If you change the code to look to a global variable to determine the draw type this code can be mighty useful for locating objects in your model when the objects are very small in the view.

Good Luck,
Brandon
