How to select the rendered model with the mouse?

[jess yan]

Interesting question, how to select the rendered model with the mouse, and then edit the parameters of the selected model?
I did not find the relevant content in the user manual！
@z3dev Have you implemented related functions?

@z3dev @jess-yan yup. it is not implemented right now. But such feature has a lot more to consider to be implemented.

It may be beneficial to start a discussion on git to see what would be expectation of such functionality and what it would take to implement it.

@jess-yan that's not so different than some of the mainstream cad applications. for example, blender allows the selection of the model using a mouse click, but just selects the model from the tree of models on the right. any changes to the model are made to the tree.

@z3dev OK! If you render multiple models at the same time, you can only select the model from the list and edit the model parameters. This is the solution I thought of, although it is not perfect.

i haven't seen this functionality in any of the various websites. it's probably possible but way outside of the goals of JSCAD.

@hrgdavor mentioned that Three.js has this functionality but again implementation is not going to be easy.
