Have you seen the docs?
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/gui/qtvcp-vismach.html

Also the sample configurations qtdragon_metric or qtdragon_inch show vismach models in the utilities tab.

Have a look here:
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...vcp-tabs-axis#268582

That was very helpful.

I still am having trouble coming up with lat and lon values that show the X/U and Y/V planes as vertical. It seems to me that changing the viewpoint through the lat and lon values never gets to such an orientation. Lat = -45 and lon = 0 almost looks like vertical X/U and Y/V planes, but I think it is an optical illusion.

Hi,everyone.
     I'm developing a cnc control panel using Qtvcp,and I need to display the vismach 3d model and movement in the qtvcp UI interface,but I dont know how to make it ,does anyone help me how to make vismach 3d model and movement in qtvcp's UI interface (not popup window),thank you 

yes I understand, I saw your answers there, I thank you for responding, but the link you gave me in the other post I tried to make it work but I couldn't, I even asked more questions there but I didn't get an answer, so I created another one, my apologies

First off tommy & myself replied.
Second, no double posting.

I need to make Linuxcnc open with the feed and rapid closed, I've asked this question before, but I didn't get any results, I saw another post that the guy did using Python, but I didn't understand what he did, I even asked a question in his post, but no answer, can anyone help me?

You could create a  USER_COMMAND_FILE  in your config directory with a copy of the method from glnav.py like below. You do need to restart LinuxCNC to apply each change.

I looked at this post, but I didn't understand what was done so that Linuxcnc when opened has the feed override and the rapid override closed, I tried everything, can you explain to me how to do it, I know this issue has been going on for a while, I've been away for a while, thanks if anyone can help me

Well, the file seems to be /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/glnav.py , but I find my intuition for spherical coordinates is severely lacking. Setting the lat/lon to 0,0 gets the wire into the horizontal plane, but rotating it around in a desirable fashion is proving difficult. Is there a way to overload this set_view_p function somewhere downstream so I don't have to edit a python3 package, creating problems with future system software updates?

Thanks again.

Excellent.
I am updating the docs on this a bit. hopefully you can critique the docs update later
when I push them.

and again. thanks for the quick reply.
note my last edit in my last post.
I did add some hal commands, and I think it's working ok now.
 

You are using the development version of linuxcnc.
Documentation will never be perfect, It's lucky there are any updated documentation in the master version, mostly because it constantly changes and a lack of time.
Obviously we are not paid to do this work.

It is expected that you will try to figure things out yourself and then ask questions on what you can't.
Some people then write new documentation from the info they figured out and/or were told about and offer it to linuxcnc, so as to help out. This is very helpful.
It's in fact harder to write good docs when you already know how something is supposed to work as you don't think about other ways to operate the feature.

Ok which problem do you want to work on first?

You can see in the picture there is a button that says 'no lift' eg spindle lift is turned off.
You can see in the pic the setting 'spindle raise' is set to 0 inches eg no spindle raise amount.
If you set these to 'spindle raise' and 1 inch respectably, run a program and then pause the program, you should see the program pause and the spindle stop and the spindle raise 1 inch.
This absolutely works in the sim configs.

This new feature - inhibit spindle when probe is loaded- is new so the sim has not integrated it.

Both features require controlling the spindle.0.inhibit pin. you can't normally have two driver pins connected to an input. If you use an OR2/logic component (or classicladder/custom component) you can.
You would need to connect qtdragon.spindle-inhibit to one OR input and qtversaprobe.probe-loaded to the other OR input and connect the OR output to spindle.0.inhibit
Now either event will inhibit the spindle.

if you erase the preference file entries while linuxcnc is not running and don't run any version that still uses the old version of versaprobe,you won't see it again.

I was wondering about this myself, so glad it was made a topic. Foam cutters seem to be seeing an increase
in interest. ( Me included ) I am also curious about it showing a 5th axis.
