We are using ODE 0.39 and Directx. Can confirm that the OPCODE trimesh build
strides is not able to work with the sizeof directx indices. The input to
directx
draw primitives requires them to be a short. (2 bytes on win platform). This
makes
a stride for opcode of 6 bytes for the indices. There is an inbuilt check
that the
stride for indices is a minimum of 12 bytes. I don't know why Pierre has
limited
the strides to 12 bytes. This is not a problem for D3DVERTEX which is much
bigger.

So use the OPCODE trimesh build using strides you will need to do a pre
convert your
indices to a list of 4 byte ints so your stride becomes 12 bytes. You can
then discard
the list after the build.

Pierre
Can you comment. Its a pity we have to do this. Its not a problem for me
now, I have it
working like a train, but I bet this bites everyone using directx at first.
