Hi all!
I'm implementing an interactive modeling tool (ToolData), that operates on polygon objects and adds new geometry to the object. (Like, e.g., the extrude tool)

I'm having some problems with getting the object to update in the viewport. To update the viewport, i call "DrawViews" each time the user interacts with the object (drags the mouse). Most of the time it works just fine, but sometimes it seems a little buggy.

In general, what flags/messages must i use to make sure my scene is properly updated in the viewport after modifying a polygon object?

Best regards
/Filip

 // Update display to show drag results  
 DrawViews(DRAWFLAGS_ONLY_ACTIVE_VIEW|DRAWFLAGS_NO_THREAD|DRAWFLAGS_NO_ANIMATION);  
}  
if (win->MouseDragEnd() == MOUSEDRAGRESULT_ESCAPE)    doc->DoUndo();

Careful, I'm using R12 enumeration flags here.

Yup, that's pretty much exactly what my code looks like. Seems like i've got to look for my bug elsewhere then.

Thanks a lot for the help!
