Creating a subclass for vtkActor

Support
1

Hey, I am looking to override vtkActor and simply adding a name property (subclass name is namedActor). Now I’ve got the code compiling, but when rendering the window, the geometry of the actor is invisible. Am I missing something in the code to not make it work? I’ve tried looking how VTK does it’s subclassing and to the best of my ability I can’t find what I’m doing wrong or missing.

Here is the code for reference:

namedActor.h

#include <vector>
#include <vtkType.h>
#include <vtkActor.h>

VTK_ABI_NAMESPACE_BEGIN
class namedActor : public vtkActor
{
public:
	vtkTypeMacro(namedActor, vtkActor);
	static namedActor* New();
	const char* GetName();
	void SetName(char name[100]);
protected:
	namedActor();
	~namedActor();
private:
	char name[100] = "";
};
VTK_ABI_NAMESPACE_END

namedActor.cpp

#include "namedActor.h"
#include <vtkType.h>
#include <vtkActor.h>
#include <vtkObjectFactory.h>
#include <vtkTexture.h>
#include <vtkProperty.h>
#include <vtkMapper.h>
#include <vtkMath.h>

VTK_ABI_NAMESPACE_BEGIN

vtkStandardNewMacro(namedActor);

namedActor::namedActor()
{
}
namedActor::~namedActor()
{
}

const char* namedActor::GetName() {
	return this->name;
}

void namedActor::SetName(char name[100]) {
	strcpy(this->name, name);
}
VTK_ABI_NAMESPACE_END

thanks for any help in advance!
