How Autodesk Forge viewer manages multiple scenes to select multiple elements

Question

I want to understand how Autodesk Forge viewer stores node elements in multiple THREE.Scene objects. There are several scenes:

viewer.impl.scene // The main scen         


        

Answer 1

Here are two methods that shows you how to access the bounding boxes of specific components based on their fragmentIds:

//returns bounding box as it appears in the viewer
// (transformations could be applied)
function getModifiedWorldBoundingBox(fragIds, fragList) {

  var fragbBox = new THREE.Box3();
  var nodebBox = new THREE.Box3();

  fragIds.forEach(function(fragId) {

    fragList.getWorldBounds(fragId, fragbBox);
    nodebBox.union(fragbBox);
  });

  return nodebBox;
 }

 // Returns bounding box as loaded in the file
 // (no explosion nor transformation)
function getOriginalWorldBoundingBox(fragIds, fragList) {

  var fragBoundingBox = new THREE.Box3();
  var nodeBoundingBox = new THREE.Box3();

  var fragmentBoxes = fragList.boxes;

  fragIds.forEach(function(fragId) {
    var boffset = fragId * 6;
    fragBoundingBox.min.x = fragmentBoxes[boffset];
    fragBoundingBox.min.y = fragmentBoxes[boffset+1];
    fragBoundingBox.min.z = fragmentBoxes[boffset+2];
    fragBoundingBox.max.x = fragmentBoxes[boffset+3];
    fragBoundingBox.max.y = fragmentBoxes[boffset+4];
    fragBoundingBox.max.z = fragmentBoxes[boffset+5];
    nodeBoundingBox.union(fragBoundingBox);
  });

  return nodeBoundingBox;
 }
