      The desired view orientation for the camera.

    • Optional duration: number

      The number of milliseconds used to transition to the new camera.

    • Optional bounding: Box

      Optional bounding to fit the camera about. If not supplied, the model bounding will be used.

    • Optional preserveModelUp: boolean

      Indicates whether the camera up will be set according to model up or current camera.

    Returns Promise<void>

setXRayColor

  • Sets the color applied to nodes in x-ray mode. By default, the color is unset.

    See unsetXRayColor.

    Parameters

    • element: ElementType

      the type of geometry to apply the color to

    • color: Color

      the color to apply

    • Optional group: XRayGroup

      the category of nodes that will be affected. If unspecified, XRayGroup.Selected will be used.

    Returns Promise<void>

setXRayOpacity

  • Sets the opacity of unselected items in x-ray mode.

    Parameters

    • opacity: number

      a number between 0 and 1

    • Optional element: ElementType

      the type of element to which the opacity will apply. If unspecified, the opacity will apply to all element types.

    Returns DeprecatedPromise

setXRayTransparencyMode

startComparison

  • startComparison(nodeIdSet1: NodeId[], nodeIdSet2: NodeId[], config?: ComparisonConfig): void

  • Enables a visual comparison of two sets of nodes. The nodes specified by nodeIdSet1 are filled with one color, the nodes specified by nodeIdSet2 with another color, and overlapping areas are filled with a third color.

    See endComparison.

    Parameters

    • nodeIdSet1: NodeId[]

      the nodes to compare against nodeIdSet2

    • nodeIdSet2: NodeId[]

      the nodes to compare against nodeIdSet1

    • Optional config: ComparisonConfig

      settings controlling the behavior of the comparison

    Returns void

testPointVisibility

  • testPointVisibility(points: Point3[]): Promise<number[]>

  • Tests whether the given points are visible by comparing them to the depth buffer of the most-recently-drawn frame. Points that are partially obscured by transparent objects are considered visible.

    If the test is to be run every time a frame is drawn, setPointVisibilityTest should be used instead for proper synchronization.

    Parameters

    • points: Point3[]

      The points to test.

    Returns Promise<number[]>

    A list of indices of the visible points.

unprojectPoint

  • Unprojects a 2d screen space point to a 3d world space point.

    Parameters

    • point: Point2

      2d screen space

    • z: number

      z value, default 0

    Returns Point3 | null

    point world space point

unsetXRayColor

  • Unsets the color applied to selected items in x-ray mode. Selected items will be displayed without overriding their colors.

    See setXRayColor.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

updateCamera

  • Updates camera properties individually. This method should be used to incrementally update camera properties individually.

    Parameters

    • camera: Camera

      the camera to set.

    Returns Camera

    updated camera object.
