New Features

3D Widget Select/Highlight Improvements

In HOOPS Publish, users now have enhanced capability to set up properties on highlighting or selecting behavior branched on datamodel situations. New names have been adopted to unify these properties. Because of this, the properties for Highlight have been moved to the nodesManager object, accessible via the getHighlightProperties() function, and the JavaScript functions setIsBlinking and setEnableAutoFit have been renamed to setBlinking and setZoomingToNodes. The sample DemoDataModel has been updated and showcases these modifications.

API Changes

• New API A3DPDF3DNodeSceneGetJavascriptManagerName() to help to write JavaScript that sets Highlight or Select properties of a specific 3D scene.
• New API A3DPDF3DNodeSceneSetZoomOnBehaviour() to set or unset a zoom action when the nodes are highlighted or selected on a 3D scene.
• New API A3DPDFCheckBoxSetForZoomOnBehaviour() to set a checkbox field to be the selector for the ‘zoom on behaviour’ mode of the 3D scene.

API Deprecation

These functions and structures are deprecated and will be removed in future versions of HOOPS Publish:

• A3DPDFCheckBoxSetForFitSelectedMode()
• A3DPDF3DAnnotGetJavascriptHighlightManagerName()
