How to draw a cube in-game? (with or without textures)

[lttito]

Is there a way to draw a cube in-game, without having to import a texture or a mesh? I want to create a visual element 100% by code, that could be dragable, but nothing more. Just like a visual guide to help constructing crafts in VAB/SPH. If it is not possible, can someone point me in the right direction on how to make it? Im triying to learn how to make plugins for KSP, and my experience with unity is 0.

I think the best hint for you is, that you as a beginner should look for mods who do what you try to accomplish. There are a bunch of procedural mods out there, though that might be a little bit to complex. There also recently was someone who wanted to display a CoM marker in flight, what might be an easier start. No idea where or if his stuff is [already], though. Anyway, you most likely end up building a model at runtime, just like those procedural mods.

It should be entirely possible to create an object using Unity primatives http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.CreatePrimitive.html

Thanks for the info. I managed to draw a cube, and have some code snipets to make it dragable, so i think this is the first step to implement my idea.

alternately, you could create an arbitrary triangle-mesh yourself, using the Unity "Mesh" class. I create cones with that, and it works great!
