i am now using ACIS and HOOPS as my developing tools.After building a model with ACIS,the model is rendered by HOOPS.Now the problem is,after a model such as a cuboid is rendered and displayed,how can i select a single face or edge instead of the whole object by mouse clicking and change its rendering attributes and match it with FACE or EDGE entity in ACIS.Thanks for help!

Hi Cynthia,

In order to answer your question, I need a little more information.  First what language are you using?  Secondly, have you take a look at the documentation for the HOOPS/ACIS brige located here: http://doc.spatial.com/index.php/HOOPS/ACIS_Bridge 

The bridge allows you to managed data between HOOPS and ACIS and does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

Also, you may want to have a look at the HOOPS documentation located here:  http://developer.hoops3d.com/documentation/index.html

Lastly, HOOPS ships with some sample applications that may help you figure out how to select faces from your model.  They are located in $hoopsinstalldir\demo

You can find examples in C#, Java, C++ and many other languages and tool kits. 

I hope this gets you started,
