ModelPanel Size restricted to: X > Y

[JerryCougrawr]

Apparently the model panel is restricted to the X Size of the panel being greater then the Y Size. If the Y goes over the X amount, the model doesn't appear.

As in, this would work:

local icon = vgui.Create( "DModelPanel", window )
icon:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
 
icon:SetSize( 150, 150 )
icon:SetCamPos( Vector( 70, 80, 60 ) )
icon:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) )

But this won't:

local icon = vgui.Create( "DModelPanel", window )
icon:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel() )
 
icon:SetSize( 150, 50 )
icon:SetCamPos( Vector( 70, 80, 60 ) )
icon:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) )

Is there any easy way to make the Y size bigger then the X's, but still allowing it to display the panel?

If not, is there any other way to display a model on a panel?

Just put the DModelPanel in a regular DPanel.

That way you can position and size as you wish, making it appear as if the DModelPanel has the dimensions you wish.

[lua]
local Pan = vgui.Create( "DPanel", F )
Pan:SetPos( 220, 30 )
Pan:SetSize( 270, 360 )

local CurModel = vgui.Create( "DModelPanel", Pan )
CurModel:SetPos( -35, 0 )
CurModel:SetSize( 400, 400 )
[/lua]

The reason your panel isn't rendering is that it MUST be square. To do otherwise will require you to write your own rendering function.
