Hi,

The default vtk AnnotatedCubeActor is very limited in term of interaction.

Is there anybody who developed an advanced AnnotatedCubeActor such as in freecad ?

Unfortunately that development belong to a private software, so I can’t share the source code.

My cube actor looks like the Eyeshot Pro cube actor with all snapping face/edges, it’s not so complicated but quite “long” to implement.
