solved-but-open-to-suggestions Create/Draw a wall between 2 points

[legallon]

Hi everybody , hope you're doing great ! 

Working on a factory building interface, I'd like to be able to create a wall between 2 points. 

See this example here : https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#03QEFL#0

This pg can help you understand my need : I want to click somewhere on my scene (this click would create a line attached to my mouse like in the pg), then move my mouse (the line would follow it like in the pg) and clik again somewhere else to "drop" this line and have a kind of wall ( by playing with the width etc.. of my line or whatever would be attached to the mouse).

The problem is I saw that we couldn't change the width of 3D lines, and  I don't really know how to "make a wall" by using tubes. 

Hope you understood what I was trying to say ,

Thanks for your time !

Hi @legallon

This could help you.

Ok I see, you create a box on first click, and then the second click modifies the scaling of the box to reach the clicked position, right ? 

That's very interesting !  I will try to work on that  

thanks @Arte

Just a note to say that using MeshBuilder the positions of the clicks will give you the width and height of the wall and you can set the depth, in this way you can avoid the use of scaling.

These may be of interest

Hi @JohnK,

I will try to use what you told me, and see if it suits me better than the other way (which worked quite well).

Thanks for your reply !
