set geometry invoke node : do not have this method (and why is it red?)

[Neil.Pate]

Hi All,

So I am taking my first steps with the 3D picture control, and I am stumbling on the very first hurdle!

How do I create a "set Geometry" invoke node, as shown in this picture? If I wire an invoke node into the output of the Create Object I get a standard invoke node with several options, but none related to Geometry.

Second question: why is the invoke node red????

Finally found the reason:

set Geometry was deprecated in LV8.5, as from the help:

Deprecated Properties, Methods, and Events

LabVIEW 8.5 does not support the following properties, methods, and events:

• Geometry property of the SceneObject class. Use the Drawable property instead.

The Using Meshes example in LV needs to be updated as it still uses this deprecated method.

The Solar System example correctly uses set Drawable.
