FC 0.17/Qt5 compatible NaviCube

[nyholku]

Hi everyone,

I've updated my experimental NaviCube to FC 0.17 code base and refactored it to be compatible with Qt5.

You can find the code here:

Nice work!!

It works when compiled on Ubuntu 16.04 (Qt 5).

P.S. Has the size changed and it is a bit bigger?

Will this be part of 0.17 release ?
If not we should track it via the bugtracker as well.

Yes, it is a bit bigger, I felt it now optimal for me, but this is not final. Might be configurable. We'll see.

Amazing, but I see a bunch of new icons, that i don't see often, what are those?

Hi,
I have the feeling it has been asked before but: could Navicube be ported to an “easy to install” addon?
It’s so cool that I feel it should go into master or shared as an addon...

Thanks

Very nice interface. This will make FreeCAD more usable.

The icons are also nice. They are available for download? Maybe a new icon theme using this icons will make the interface more pleasant to work with.

It's a nice add-on but last time I tried it, it slowed down the scene quite a bit. I don't know how it is implemented, but it feels like a qt-widget overlay?

[nyholku]

Slowed down?

Hmm, interesting, did not notice that.

It is not a qwidget it simply taps to the opengl render/redraw call on (on View3DInventorViewer) and renders to the OpenGL context (just like the standard XYZ axise orientation indicator) so I would not expect drawing twenty odd more polygons make any difference.

Hmm...perhaps it is the cursor tracking that takes time as this draws offscreen (but then again that is just the same few polygons).

I may have to investigate this further.
