Ok… I will need to investigate deeper. Appending the same object several times works perfectly fine, but cloning causes all sorts of troubles… strange…

Hi kdv,
I’m already using your “clone object” puzzle, and yes the objects in question originally come from an appended scene, but I the objects renaming and parenting to the new scene was already done, or at least i thought so…
How can I check what exactly I cloned and if the meshes and/or materials are linked in any way?
Thanks for your help again!

Good hints, as usual… ;)
I quickly identified that this “function within a function” – local function – was not directly accessible, and as suggested copied it in a custom procedure in my puzzles.
Just had to identify that I needed to properly set the “mesh” using the getObjectByName function and that’s it!
Thanks again!

@kdv77kdv I think I might already have the exact function for that, right?
function setObjectScale(mesh, factor) {
right?
Can I call this function from any other location in my puzzles using the javascript puzzle?

Thanks for the info!
These parameters have an effect indeed, but that’s not really what I was looking for.
My issue is that it looks like there is a constant number of zoom steps, whatever the distance between MinZoom and MaxZoom is, meaning that for small distance, controlling the zoom level is easier than for big distances where one mouse wheel step equals to a much greater distance. My question was: is there a way to increase the number of zoom steps depending on the MinZoom/MaxZoom distance??
Thanks for the help!

Changing the camera Object controls using javascript does not seem to have any effect:

const camera = app.scene.getObjectByName('Camera')

camera.controls.orbitMaxDistance = 1500;
camera.far = 3000;
console.log(camera)

using the above code I change the max distance from 500 (original Blender setting) to 1500, and the far distance from 1500 to 3000 but it does not change anything in the 3D viewport…

Here is the piece of puzzle:

I would like to make sure that the “addGenericObject” or “addCustomObject” procedures have completed before to move on to the next object in the for loop… Everything looks like the for loop goes “quicker” than the import process, and that cause my procedures to fail (the import seems to import correctly – no “on error” action triggered) but all the stuff that I need to do inside these procedure do not complete.

As usual, thank you very much! this will be useful for sure… ;)
