[iTowns-user] Accessing features of a GeometryLayer

[Johnston, Chad]

I looked at the onMeshCreated callback but I don't think I understand it very well.

In my small sample app, I have 3 features on the GeometryLayer from a FileSource. As I zoom in and out, I see onMeshCreated get called multiple times - does this mean new ThreeJS objects are being created for all zoom levels?

Also, the values that get passed in to onMeshCreated don't seem to represent individual features. Is there a one-to-one mapping between a feature defined in the FileSource and a ThreeJS object that gets created? The object passed in to onMeshCreated seems to represent something that holds all of the features.

I have a use case where I will need to change visibility for individual features in the layer. Am I going about this the wrong way by trying to access the ThreeJS objects? Is there another way to accomplish this?

Hi Chad,

I assume you are using a FileSource ? In this case, you can use layer.source.parsedData to access the FeatureCollection (which is an internal itowns format).

If you meant the ThreeJS objects, you can get them by setting a onMeshCreated to your layer, like in this case for example: https://github.com/iTowns/itowns/blob/master/examples/source_stream_wfs_3d.html#L189-L192 [github.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_iTowns_itowns_blob_master_examples_source-5Fstream-5Fwfs-5F3d.html-23L189-2DL192&d=DwMF-g&c=Nwf-pp4xtYRe0sCRVM8_LWH54joYF7EKmrYIdfxIq10&r=mQjF0_nPzjZcqOc5JWZp-Sz0OqXtNQ5NEp_IsAW3X-I&m=lbRrkYQRGdYF3aF_Q9iTbEjabC6FpWGbSR2gFv9NP2k&s=jrJw2LpCSd80WmcQQlDuec8u91wxQwfpL-UYrnMBDYA&e=>
It allows you to access the mesh once it has been created, and you can even use this method with a stream.

Hope it helps a bit

Adrien

Objet : [iTowns-user] Accessing features of a GeometryLayer
How can I access features that were added to a GeometryLayer from a GeoJSON source? I have to pass in a ThreeJS Group to the GeometryLayer constructor, but that object ends up having no children so I'm not sure where the actual features end up in the scene.

To be clear, I'd like to be able to access individual ThreeJS objects that represent each feature in the layer. I don't know if that's how they're created and added to the scene, but it seems logical since they can be different colors.

Thanks,
Chad
