Exercise 2b

Create a mesh modifier that extracts cylindrical sub-meshes and projects inlier vertices onto the fitted model. Create a UI widget to configure this mesh modifier in the noether GUI. You should be able to segment the cylinder like in the images below:

Initial

Final

Tasks

  • Familiarize yourself with the class definitions in the header files
  • Complete the lines marked TODO in the source files
  • Uncomment the lines adding this plugin in the plugin source file
  • Compile
  • Test by applying this modifier before a raster tool path planner using this mesh
    • Don't spend too much time tuning your parameters for cylinder extracting. The next exercise will add a component that will make this much easier.
  • Remember to visualize the modified mesh with View -> Mesh -> Modified or with the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M

Note: Remember to add the name of our plugin library to the environment variable that allows noether to find libraries providing plugins:

export NOETHER_PLUGIN_LIBS=noether_roscon_2024_plugins

Challenge Tasks

  • The specification of the cylinder axis direction is too restrictive for general use; remove it while still allowing the mesh modifier to work correctly
  • Add tool tips (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#toolTip-prop) to the UI to give the user more information about the function of each parameter
