Three.JS Orbit Controls - enabling and disabling without position jumping

Question

I am creating a geometry manipulation prototype with Three.JS. I am using OrbitControls.JS to manipulate the camera and am having trouble enabling and disabling the controls.

Answer 1

I haven't been able to test it, but I think that you code should be

function onDocumentMouseDown( event ) 
{
// the following line would stop any other event handler from firing
// (such as the mouse's TrackballControls)
// event.preventDefault();

//console.log("Click.");
MOUSEDOWN = true;
// update the mouse variable
mouse.x = ( event.clientX / window.innerWidth ) * 2 - 1;
mouse.y = - ( event.clientY / window.innerHeight ) * 2 + 1;

checkSelection();   
    if(editMode==2){
        controls.enabled = false;
        controls.rotate = false;
    }else{
        controls.enabled = true;
        controls.rotate = true;
        controls.onMouseDown (event);    // added this line to set the correct state
    }
}
