Picking
In screen mode, the pick functionality is always active, except when dragging the mouse. While in picking mode, you can hover over objects and the color of the silhouette changes. The geometry under the cursor shows a colored highlight silhouette and its name (or unique scene identifier if name is not available) shows in the label.
Note: If the selected object is out of sight, then the hotspot visibility is hidden.
Selection mode
You can set the Selection mode in the interaction section of the Cadviewer Configuration File (cfg_cadviewer). By default, the selection mode is single click. The Selection mode is applicable for both mouse and touch interaction.
-
Single click - When in single click mode, you can select any element (from RFC, RVM or MWX models) with a single mouse click or single tap on the screen.
-
Double click - When in double click mode, you can select any element (from RFC, RVM or MWX models) with a double mouse click or double tap on the screen.
Selecting objects
You can select an item by clicking on it. The silhouette changes to another color.
-
If cfg parameter interaction.showLabel is set to True, the name displays on a label overlay.
When exiting the selected items screen area, the selected item keeps its silhouette.
