3D Connections

• this is a Unity Asset requires to be symlinked into the Packages folder of the project you want to use it in
• add an empty and add the GUIBuilder Script to it

# in the folder of 3D
ln -s <PATH-TO-3DConnections> <PATH-TO-ASSETS-FOLDER-IN-YOUR-PROJECT>/3DConnections

• to add UnityStandaloneFileBrowser to your Project please download this unitypackage and import it to your project: Assets/Import Package

GUIBuilder

• executes all Button GUI Methods to ensure proper placement of UI Elements

ClassParser & ClassReferences

• see SceneConnections

SceneHandler

• mainly to add another Scene which is loaded in Addivite mode (overlaying the existing scenes)

NodeBuilder

• Handle the creation and composition of the nodes later used to display dependencies

Deprecated

• ScriptDependencyAnalyzer, ScriptVisualization, MainScript (All used to play around with node creation and adapting the SceneConnections approach)

Experimental

30.November

• add layer to which I can render stuff that only appears in display 2
  • requires camera in OverlayScene ("NewScene" currently) that renders orthographically to display 2
  • add new layer in Edit > Project Settings > Tags and Layers -> new layer DisplayOverlay
  • select the game object
  • assign the cube to the DisplayOverlay layer in the Inspector
  • go to the Culling Mask property in the Inspector

  Configure Cameras to visualize (everything except) the overlay layer

  1. add a new layer: Edit > Project Settings > Tags and Layers -> e.g. DisplayOverlay
  2. assuming the project structure looks as follows: camera 1 is in the original scene rendering something you want to visualize using the 3DConnections addon -> select the camera in the OverlayScene (camera2) and only enable the new Scene in the OcclusionLayer setting in the inspektor
  3. disable the new layer in cam1 (original scene)

  public string display2LayerName = "Display2Only"; // Layer name to use
  int display2Layer = LayerMask.NameToLayer(display2LayerName); // get the layer index for the specified layer name
  
  public Camera display2Camera;
  display2Camera.cullingMask = 1 << display2Layer; // Set culling mask to include only the layer```
  
  Camera mainCamera = Camera.main;
  mainCamera.cullingMask &= ~(1 << display2Layer); // Eclude the culling mask layer from the main camera

1.December

• trying to switch between displays in the Editor
• trying to remove the nodes from the colliders
  • remove checkboxes in the project settings for the node layer (2D and 3D)
• delay the scene load until finally loaded

10.December

• trying out roslyn to parse classes
• install using NuGet (which is installed using the git url)

https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/NuGetForUnity.git?path=/src/NuGetForUnity

• install NuGet Package of roslyn: Microsoft.CodeAnalysis Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp
• resolved the issue of Workspaces*.dll could not load (linux only) by just deleting them 🙈
• added context menu (raycast still not working on second monitor)

11.December

• using prefabs for nodes and materials now as well for the highlighting of nodes

12.December

• fix linux installation of roslyn by manually installing the SQLitePCLRaw.bundle_green package form NuGet
• fixing highlight/dragging interaction with nodes

13.December

• fix zoom with changing viewport size
• way too much time invested into fixing selection logic to be able to handle multi select, dragging, single click deselect as well as highlighting

18.December

• use prefab as parent object for node spawning
• added Clear method to clean up spawned nodes

19.December

• documentation in UnityConnections README
• thinking about layouts for 3DConnections

20.December

• modified selection logic using RaycastAll
• constructing a tree from scene transforms parent-child relationships 🌲 Merry Christmas
