Hi Erik,

are you developing a custom component (i.e. derived from GH_Component?) or ...?

If you want to participate in viewport drawing, override the following methods on GH_Component:

IsPreviewCapable

ClippingBox

DrawViewportWires

DrawViewportMeshes

You need more info?

ok so when i call GH_Component.DrawViewportMeshes() or Grasshopper.Kernel.Types.GH_Brep.DrawViewportMeshes() i need to have a value for GH_PreviewArgs which i cannot find a value for. Are there any default values for this assigned to the active grasshopper document?

I am using a custom component which i want to use to draw a bunch of geomery to the conduit. But i do not want to have this geometry as an output to the component. I have also found GH_PreviewUtil() but i need to draw shaded meshes rather than wireframe.

Thank you

Erik
