[dhans]

Hi fellas, I am very new to the 3D picture side. Can you tell me how to create a total background of the 3D picture dispaly into white color or any other color using mesh.vi... i tried but only one part of the area was turned into the desired color. I need to create a total background fully colored wherever i scroll down on the display...Help me!!!

Since you are new to 3D Picture Control, I strongly advice to study the examples shipping with LabVIEW. They are all under this folder in LabVIEW 2014:

C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2014\examples\Graphics and Sound\3D Picture Control\

In special, try this example here:

Using Meshes.vi

This will show you different ways to work with meshes and apply texture to it.

Now, if you are just interested in changing the background color to white, then you can use the Property Node of BackgroundColor. To do that, just right click to a 3D Picture control and select: Create >> Property Node >> Background Color. Then you will need to use the function Color Change.vi (3D Picture Control >> Helper >> Color Changer.vi) to generate the necessary color, like this:

This Example would show such a use:
