Hello,
If you like, i hope you to see the program
/usr/share/Performer/src/pguide/libpf/C++/intersect.C. The pfGeoSet is a
Cube-similar object, which is made by 6 QUAD faces. I change the
representation of each face with strips , so i have 6 strips instead of a
single strip, and length of each strip is 4. In the original case ( not
changed by me), the parameters corresponding to PFQHIT_PRIM and PFQHIT_TRI
changed correctly, that is, prim_index changed with intersection points.
However, it doesn't change after my changing.

Here is what i have made change to the pfGeoSet.

Original,

    pfVec3 *verts = (pfVec3*) new(8*sizeof(pfVec3)) pfMemory;
    verts[0].set(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[1].set( 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[2].set( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[3].set(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[4].set(-2.0f, -2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[5].set( 2.0f, -2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[6].set( 2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[7].set(-2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);

    ushort *vindex = (ushort*) new(24*sizeof(ushort)) pfMemory;
    vindex[0] = 0; vindex[1] = 1; vindex[2] = 2; vindex[3] = 3; //
front
    vindex[4] = 0; vindex[5] = 3; vindex[6] = 7; vindex[7] = 4; // left

    vindex[8] = 4; vindex[9] = 7; vindex[10] = 6; vindex[11] = 5; // back

    vindex[12] = 1; vindex[13] = 5; vindex[14] = 6; vindex[15] = 2; //
right
    vindex[16] = 3; vindex[17] = 2; vindex[18] = 6; vindex[19] = 7; // top
    vindex[20] = 0; vindex[21] = 4; vindex[22] = 5; vindex[23] = 1; //
bottom

    pfVec4 *colors = (pfVec4*) new(4*sizeof(pfVec4)) pfMemory;
    colors[0].set(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[1].set(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[2].set(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[3].set(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);

    ushort *cindex = (ushort*) new(24*sizeof(ushort)) pfMemory;
    cindex[0] = 0; cindex[1] = 1; cindex[2] = 2; cindex[3] = 3;
    cindex[4] = 0; cindex[5] = 1; cindex[6] = 2; cindex[7] = 3;
    cindex[8] = 0; cindex[9] = 1; cindex[10] = 2; cindex[11] = 3;
    cindex[12] = 0; cindex[13] = 1; cindex[14] = 2; cindex[15] = 3;
    cindex[16] = 0; cindex[17] = 1; cindex[18] = 2; cindex[19] = 3;
    cindex[20] = 0; cindex[21] = 1; cindex[22] = 2; cindex[23] = 3;

    pfGeoSet *gset = new pfGeoSet;
    gset->setAttr(PFGS_COORD3, PFGS_PER_VERTEX, verts, vindex);
    gset->setAttr(PFGS_COLOR4, PFGS_PER_VERTEX, colors, cindex);
    gset->setPrimType(PFGS_QUADS);
    gset->setNumPrims(6);

My changes, (Note: the index order is different from QUAD case)

    pfVec3 *verts = (pfVec3*) new(8*sizeof(pfVec3)) pfMemory;
    verts[0].set(-1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f)
    verts[1].set( 1.0f, -1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[2].set( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[3].set(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
    verts[4].set(-2.0f, -2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[5].set( 2.0f, -2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[6].set( 2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);
    verts[7].set(-2.0f, 2.0f, 0.0f);

    ushort *vindex = (ushort*) new(24*sizeof(ushort)) pfMemory;
    vindex[0] = 0; vindex[1] = 1; vindex[2] = 3; vindex[3] = 2; // top
    vindex[4] = 0; vindex[5] = 3; vindex[6] = 4; vindex[7] = 7; // left

    vindex[8] = 4; vindex[9] = 7; vindex[10] = 5; vindex[11] = 6; //
bottom
    vindex[12] = 1; vindex[13] = 5; vindex[14] = 2; vindex[15] = 6; //
right
    vindex[16] = 3; vindex[17] = 2; vindex[18] = 7; vindex[19] = 6; // back

    vindex[20] = 0; vindex[21] = 4; vindex[22] = 1; vindex[23] = 5; //
front

    pfVec4 *colors = (pfVec4*) new(4*sizeof(pfVec4)) pfMemory;
    colors[0].set(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[1].set(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[2].set(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
    colors[3].set(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.5f);

    ushort *cindex = (ushort*) new(24*sizeof(ushort)) pfMemory;
    cindex[0] = 0; cindex[1] = 1; cindex[2] = 3; cindex[3] = 2;
    cindex[4] = 0; cindex[5] = 1; cindex[6] = 3; cindex[7] = 2;
    cindex[8] = 0; cindex[9] = 1; cindex[10] = 3; cindex[11] = 2;
    cindex[12] = 0; cindex[13] = 1; cindex[14] = 3; cindex[15] = 2;
    cindex[16] = 0; cindex[17] = 1; cindex[18] = 3; cindex[19] = 2;
    cindex[20] = 0; cindex[21] = 1; cindex[22] = 3; cindex[23] = 2;

    int *length = (int *) new(6*sizeof(int)) pfMemory;
    for(uint i=0; i<6; i++)
        length[i] = 4;

     pfGeoSet *gset = new pfGeoSet;

    gset->setPrimType(PFGS_TRISTRIPS);
    gset->setPrimLengths(length);
    gset->setAttr(PFGS_COORD3, PFGS_PER_VERTEX, verts, vindex);
    gset->setAttr(PFGS_COLOR4, PFGS_PER_VERTEX, colors, cindex);
     gset->setNumPrims(6);

After the change, please get the value of PFQHIT_PRIM, it always is 0. In
fact, in my application, it is always a constant value.

Thank you for your reconsideration.

Best regards

Yigang
