Modifying plugins to implement application-specific behaviour is not a good idea. I always try to say as general as possible, eg. in your case to be able to load data from (best case) all supported file formats. I don't know shapefiles but I presume what you're after is stored as LINES or LINE_STRIPs. As roughtly outlined before I'd create a NodeVisitor that checks all Geodes to see if they have any LINES or LINE_STRIP geometry in them and if so extract the individual lines from that. This can then be used as input for the cylinder generation. > Also, I tried loading a .shp in a trial program and using visual studio > debugging step > through, I was not able to step through the functions that are called in the > dll (i > took a look at the dll source code) You might need to tell VS where to find the source for the plugin or the pdb file. Sorry, I'm no VS expert :-| Cheers, /ulrich _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
