Yes -- basically I'd just like to be able to make it clear that a
whole figure is selected. But I realize that this wouldn't be
trivial because in my case at least figures can be assembled from
multiple shapes. I'm not thinking handles here, i.e. manipulating
and moving objects, but in terms of highlighting (and eventually
"lassoing") a particular selected model object(s) / edit part so
that you can see say a group of objects that have been selected
through a selection provider.
Ah.. yes. Actually, a student once write an application combining
GEF3D and EMF Search. Search results could be highlighted by simply
drawing a yellow transparent cube around it. This should be no
problem, since we already calculate bounding boxes which could be used
for the highlighting cube.
In this context I had another idea which unfortunately wasn't realized
(but I will put it on the todo list): Instead of highlighting a
figure, I had the idea to dim the whole scene and let only the
selected elements shine bright (this will result in a spotlight
effect) We already had an idea how to implement that by using a proxy
nesting the graphics class and manipulating the setColor methods. We
maybe could combine this effect with superimposed figures, that is,
highlighted elements would be visible through others...

But I really do think it would help project use enormously to have
an update site and build zips available. It makes integration much
easier.
Ok, I will try to organize that as soon as possible. I will ask Chris
Aniszczyk about the process, and I will ask you how to set up the
system. Unfortunately, "as soon as possible" probably will not be
before March. At the moment, I've got zero time for GEF3D programming,
even this todo list is kind of luxury (but it will help Madhu and
Kristian while I'm "offline") ;-)
