Thanks a lot.... i don't have too much experience in directx programming...
First of all sorry for my english... i'll try to make it more correct as
possible while explaining my problem...
I have done a cad program where you can draw your objects such as stairs,
racks ecc.. all in 2d, now in the first version the 3d was made by drawing
the objects directly, without using any 3d library (i have all object data
in the three axis) and after drawing all the object an algorithm clear all
the hidden lines, this works well but is slow and i can't apply surfaces,
texture, lights ecc. Now i have done the ver 2.0 rewritting the code in c#
and adding some functionalities, in this version i'd like to implement (if
it is possible) the 3d side using directx so i can draw my object faster and
in the future add lights and texture.
And now the problem... when i'm looking the 3d object in my screen i must
have the possibility to take a snapshot of the scene, draw it in 2d and to
quote the resulting object.
Although my english I hope you understood my problem, if you have any
suggestion please tell me...
Thanks.
