Now that we’re able to place a grid of front tiles / segments, the only thing left is the placement of the right / top blind front panels – if the front tiles don’t fit properly. As always, we’re starting with a very basic test. The right blind front (if there’s one) will be placed on the bottom board, therefore start at z == SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness.
TEST_N(FrontModelRightBlindFront)
{
SimpleCabinetModel simpleCabinet(2 * 200 + 2 * SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness + 50,
3 * 150 + 2 * SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness + 70, 800);
FrontModel frontModel(simpleCabinet.GetFrontModelOrigin(), simpleCabinet.GetFrontWidth(), simpleCabinet.GetFrontHeight());
CHECK_EQUAL(SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness, frontModel.GetRightZBlindFront());
}
Well, you could see that one coming, making the test pass is rather trivial – but it gets us on the track to more sophisticated functionality.
WorldCoord GetRightZBlindFront() const {
return fOrigin.z;
}
Let’s add another check to the test. The height of the right blind front should be the height of the front model.
CHECK_EQUAL(3 * 150 + 70, frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontHeight());
Quite obvious and should be easy to implement. There’s already an instance variable fHeight in the FrontModel:
WorldCoord frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontHeight() const {
return fHeight;
}
The third component needed to generate the geometry for the right blind front model is the base rectangular shape for the extrude. Another check for our test.
CHECK_EQUAL(WorldRect(SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness + frontModel.GetNumColumns() * FrontModel::kSegmentWidth, FrontModel::kSegmentDepth, SimpleCabinetModel::kBoardThickness + simpleCabinet.GetFrontWidth(), 0), frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontBase());
Introducing two additional constants for the tile/segment’s width and depth, making the test pass requires a few lines of code:
class FrontModel {
WorldRect GetRightBlindFrontBase() const {
WorldCoord xStart = fOrigin.x + GetNumColumns() * kSegmentWidth;
WorldCoord xEnd = fOrigin.x + fWidth;
WorldRect r(0, 0, 0, 0);
if (xStart != xEnd)
r.Set(xStart, kSegmentDepth, xEnd, 0);
return r;
}
};
The top blind front is tackled the same way – We need it’s z position, it’s x dimensions and it’s height. Not an awful lot to see there. Now let’s check if we’re able to generate Vectorworks geometry with this model.
void CreateFrom(const FrontModel& frontModel) {
// ...
WorldRect topBlindFrontBase = frontModel.GetTopBlindFrontBase();
if (topBlindFrontBase != WorldRect(0, 0, 0, 0)) {
MCObjectHandle topBlindFront = gSDK->CreateExtrude(frontModel.GetTopZBlindFront(), frontModel.GetTopZBlindFront() + frontModel.GetTopBlindFrontHeight());
gSDK->AddObjectToContainer(gSDK->CreateRectangle(frontModel.GetTopBlindFrontBase()), topBlindFront);
}
WorldRect rightBlindFrontBase = frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontBase();
if (rightBlindFrontBase != WorldRect(0, 0, 0, 0)) {
MCObjectHandle rightBlindFront = gSDK->CreateExtrude(frontModel.GetRightZBlindFront(), frontModel.GetRightZBlindFront() + frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontHeight());
gSDK->AddObjectToContainer(gSDK->CreateRectangle(frontModel.GetRightBlindFrontBase()), rightBlindFront);
}
In fact, we are:
