The decision of how best to do this is based on your apps memory size, the poly count of your objects, texture size, device limitation’s etc.

30 object might be 30 triangles or it might be 30 million.

On the light end of the spectrum you could simply hide all your objects at start and show them on selection.

Alternatively, for larger sets you can create on scene with your mats lights and camera and append and close gltfs as needed.

Depending on your material texture sizes you might have icon sizes in the main file but pull up the larger file as needed per gltf.

Well, there are many ways to do this but there are two very simple ways.

The easiest way to start is just understanding what you need to do.
I would suggest using a site like: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_select.asp

A google search of “html drop down list” will give the above link.

It provides a quick HTML example of how to create the drop down.

<label for=”cars”>Choose a car:</label>

<select name=”cars” id=”cars”>
<option value=”volvo”>Volvo</option>
<option value=”saab”>Saab</option>
<option value=”mercedes”>Mercedes</option>
<option value=”audi”>Audi</option>
</select>

Adding the above to your exiting project HTML will create a drop down list. You would of course need some CSS or other method to place it where you want.

Additionally you can use the above information to give you insights into what Puzzles to use if you rather create using puzzles.

The first is you need add an HTML select element just as seen in the HTML example.
Then you will need to set the properties of the select element. In my case I created 3 options each with their own ID. You will then create the visual labels. In puzzles its called textContent… this is what you see in the drop down list. Then there are values just as shown in the HTML example. The values are what you want returned as data. As an example Blue might be the text you see in the drop down list but the value might be #0000FF or a sku number or price…etc.

I have included a simple when clicked so you can see how the value changes as selections are made by pressing the default cube.

You will also need to provide some CSS or binding so that the drop downlist looks like and is placed where desired.

The files you will deliver to the client are basically HTML, CSS, JS, GLTFF, BIN and media folder.

All of the settings are can be changed by editing the basic HTML type files. They can change the logo, the loading bar color, the size of the logo, the background color, etc.
The Settings Panel in the Application Manager is just a super simple way to quickly edit these files so you don’t have to go into those files and do it yourself.

The client could of course buy a license to use that tool, but its not worth it if they are only changing those things. If they are going to take your project and insert it into a website they are should have the skills to quickly edit these things. If they don’t have the skill set….you should sell your services to them to make the necessary revisions and get them a new file.

If I were you I would send them a sample file…and they can go play with it until they figure it all out. If they have the skills…should take therm only a few minutes. If not sell a maintenance agreement

Are you wanting this to be done in HTML or in your 3D app and controlled via puzzles, or some other method?

AppUtils.unregisterServiceKeys(app);

not working on OSX 14.4.1

added javascript puzzle, inserted string: AppUtils.unregisterServiceKeys(app);

result – does not prevent services keys from functioning and locks out all interaction to the canvas. Not able to rotate camera or click on any hot spots.

Default scene.

Hard to diagnose without a lot of additional information.
Here are just a few.

– can we see the project/puzzles
-can we see the app running
-how many videos?
– what are the file sizes?
-what is the resolution and codec
-what version of iOS
-what iOS device- model, RAM
– what are the conditions of your test: what browser, version, how many tabs are open, etc
– how much free drive space do you have?

I have never notice any issues with degradation of performance on whenclicks on 3D objects vs 2D objects. You mentioned you have FPS drops when you use 3D objects as buttons?
If you a simple scene with a 3d object and a simple hide object on click….this is causing FPS drops and performance issues? What version of V3D are you using?

Hi there,
So there are many ways to answer your question.

Can V3D be used to do this – yes
Can V3D built in puzzles allow you do this – yes
Can you use HTML/CSS/JS and V3D to accomplish this – yes.

The site is pretty straight up PHP. If you are going to use V3D as your 3D viewer, then I would go the HTML/CSS/JS route to do the 2D portion rather than doing the same thing directly in V3D or using texture maps…. the site is very dynamic so your interface should be as well.
