Hello.
I'm using a Viewport3D control to display a scene that is based on STL files. Some geometries are not rendered properly. Some areas of the surface are looking like no material is applied and you can see the triangles described by the mesh.
So is this a problem of the Viewport3D control or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance

2023-08-11T08:02:01.0366667+00:00 Yes. Before using the Viewport3D control i used a OpenGL control to display the model and everything looked fine. I only changed to the Viewport3D control because the OpenGL control is Windows Forms based and my application needs AllowsTransparency=True.

2023-08-11T12:35:10.3866667+00:00 I solved the problem. It was a mistake in my code. I did only add one normal vector for each triangle but it must be three (one for each vertex).
