    Hi
    I have not found a topic about this topic so I ask the question.
    What is the best way to delete an object in our scene? I speak here when we are in the app.
    Basically I create a DELETE button and the selected object disappears from my scene. I can do it with the HIDE function but is it the best way for performance?
    Because if I created 8-10 objects in my scene and I hide 4 of them. Are they still calculated on the screen even if they are hidden?
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, hiding objects instead of deleting them from a scenegraph is a non-invasive method with a very little overhead. So I think this is the way to go.

    Thanks again!
    But just out of curiosity, is there a delete function?

    Yep, but it is only exposed as JavaScript API:

    app.scene.remove(myObject);
