“OGLeMDI” demonstrates implementation of the main instruments for work with 3D vector images. Source code of this application (extensible Qt-project) can be a base for creation of software with using of the 3D engineering graphics.

“OGLeMDI” application exhibits the following developed solutions, extensions and improvements for present Qt library:
– Organization of code with ability of using the basic necessary graphical instruments, processing and storage of the appropriate data (at first order – encapsulation of code, which belongs to the OpenGL layer);
– Ability to work with several 3D drawings (or different views of the same drawing) simultaneously;
– Initialization of the drawing environments according to the user defined settings;
– Making the vector drawings by means of developed code of basic 3D elements (Point, Line, Face, Mesh) with possibility of creation of another such elements on base of them;
– Implementation of methods for processing the mouse events (mouse’s wheel rotation, clicks and motion for scaling, rotation around axes and translation of the current drawing, accordingly);
– Ability of selection of the graphical entities;
– Presence of several kinds of rendering of images (by points, wireframe or solid);
– Changing the actual basic views of opened drawings;
– Managing with opened images and navigation through them;
– Obtaining of the information about actual drawings and used software;
– Organization of access to help information.
