The extension automatically binds to:
  • ViewerEvent.ObjectClicked for selection detection.
  • ViewerEvent.ObjectDoubleClicked for focusing on objects
  • InputEvent.PointerMove for hover detection
This extension requires and active CameraController extension implementation.
Note that this extension will automatically remember the last material for each material that you select and automatically apply it upon deselection. This might affect the end result if you are combining selection with other operations like isolating, hiding or coloring.
