Structure Viewer

The Structure Viewer is a program that allows the user to preview objects in a window. This enables the developer to view an object whilst building it. Multiple objects can be loaded into the viewer at a time.

1 2
A model of a locomotive prior to having a bitmap applied to one of it's sides. The bitmap has been applied to the object in the text file, and the screen is updated to show the finished model.
3 4
A demonstration of the program's ability to show more than one object. Here, a track object has been loaded into the window along with the original locomotive object to check alignment between the two. The screen shot above, demonstrates the user's ability to change the window background by simply dragging and dropping a bitmap into the viewer. I've chosen a nice 'clear blue sky' to show up my Big Blue Tractor. :o)
