Transitioning from 10.0 to 10.1 and creating MOLE symbology in ArcGlobe - the application crashes at the following line of code Globe.AddLayerType(graphicsLayer.GlobeGraphicsLayer as ILayer , esriGlobeLayerType.esriGlobeLayerTypeUnknown, false); Leading up to this I do the following: I have a custom class called 3DDataLayer which has the following properties:  IForceElementLayer (named MoleLayer) , IGlobeGraphicsLayer (named GlobeGraphicsLayer) and other properties that aren't relevant. The first thing I do is create a workspace by doing the following IFeatureWorkspace featureWorkspace; myWorkspace = myWorkspaceFactory.CreateNewScratchWorkspace(); featureWorkspace = myWorkspace as IFeatureWorkspace; myFields = new FieldsClass(); //... // Setting my field names and alianses and properties featureWorkspace.CreateFeatureClass(inName, myFields,  null  , null , esriFeatureType.esriFTSimple , "Shape" , String.Empty); //Create a mole layer I create the mole layer as follows IFeatureClass featureClass = LoadFeatureClass(inName); IGeofeatureLayer featureLayer = new FeatureLayer() as IGeofeatureLayer; featureLayer.FeatureClass = featureClass; ICachedGraphicFeatureLayer moleLayer = new ForceElementLayer() as ICachedGraphicFeatureLayer; moleLayer.FeatureLayer = featureLayer; //Set properties such as size / 3d settings / ILayer layer = moleLayer as ILayer; layer.Name = inName; Globe.AddLayerType(layer , esriGlobeLayerType.esriGlobeLayerTypeDraped, false); myMoleFeatureClass = featureClass; Any ideas why this is blowing up?  I need this so I can turn on Military Symbology based upon certain trigger conditions. ...

Does anyone have any experience creating text using OpenGL?  I'm trying to use the GDITextureFont with the CSGL OpenGL Wrapper but it's not working. Any help would be great.  Basically, I don't want to use the 3D Markers on the globe and would rather use a 2D Type of Marker.  I figured I could use the ESRI Font File, pull out the character and draw that on the globe. Any advice going forward, would be great. ... View more

I currently have a basic shapefile that I want to edit in ArcObjects in C#. I've created a shape file by creating a FeatureClass , Workspace and then obviously passing in my shape.  In this case it's just a simple Polyline with a few points on it.  What I'd like to do is have the ability to update this shapefile. I'm assuming I need to re-use that FeatureClass, Workspace and pass in a new shape.  However, what I'm doing doesn't seem to work.  This is where I'm at on the edit - any advice would be great. IWorkspaceEdit workspaceEdit = (IWorkspaceEdit)inWorkspace; workspaceEdit.StartEditing(true); workspaceEdit.StartEditOperation(); ComReleaser comReleaser = new ComReleaser(); IFeatureCursor featureCursor = inFeatureClass.Update(null , true); IFeature feature = null; while((feature = featureCursor.NextFeature()) != null) {    int id = feature.Fields.FindField("shape");    IFeatureBuffer featureBuffer = inFeatureClass.CreateFeatureBuffer();    featureCursor.DeleteFeature(); //Delete the old    featureBuffer.Shape = (IGeometry)inShape;    featureCursor.InsertFeature(featureBuffer); } workspaceEdit.StopEdidtOperation(); workspaceEdit.StopEditing(true); ...

I'm trying to leverage ArcGLobe to get an envelope or extent of what is visible to the user.  Basically, if the globe loads up and I zoom to North America, I'd like to know the bounds of the globe are North America... I have the ability to place the mouse inside the globe and convert x,y mouse coordinates into Lat,Lon Coordinates; however, if the mouse is placed outside of the globe no value can be returned.  Obviously this removes the ability to just get the extent based on the four corners of my screen.  Is there a way to get the radius of the globe in pixels?  If so I could just do some basic math and double the radius to get the diameter and know that based upon the diameter and the  height/width of the globe control know the four corners of the globe to a certain degree with minimal error. Any ideas would be great.  I'm not looking for code per-se but at least point me in the right direction or library would be helpful. Thanks ... View more
