Qt3D 2.0 subclassing Qt3D::QCylinderMesh

[Carlito]

Hi everyone,

In order to make an arrow in Qt3D, i tried creating a Qt3D::QConeMesh by subclassing Qt3D::QCylinderMesh, and then overwriting the functions so that they can take 2 radii (for a cone fustrum), and calculate the vertices in there accordingly:

void createSides( ..., double radius1, double radius2 ... ) {...}
QMeshDataPtr createConeMesh (..., double radius1, double radius2 ... ) {...} 

I was assuming that the rest of the functionality is basically copied from QCylinderMesh in the inheritance. But I can't make it work.

What is weird, if I subclass it without altering any functionality, essentially qconemesh.h like this:

class QT3DRENDERERSHARED_EXPORT QConeMesh : public Qt3D::QCylinderMesh 
{  Q_OBJECT };

and an empty qconemesh.cpp, then it "works" in the way that I can then call QConeMesh (and obviously get a cylinder).

Am I missing something?

Thanks & Cheers, Carl
