Highlighting Elements

Highlighting/picking entities in a scene is enabled by default and cannot be opted out of. Should this later be a requirement/request, it certainly seems possible to change this behaviour. Picking happens on a mouse click event by default but this can be overridden by supplying the eventToPickOn prop that expects a string with the desired event name.

<GLTFViewer
    canvasID="canvas-3"
    models={[sampleModel1]}
    eventToPickOn={"mouseclicked"}
/>

Possible event types are not yet fully documented but should later be available in full. Follow this issue on the xeokit-sdk repo to get updates.

For now, the highlighted entity's ID is merely logged to the console. This functionality is likely to be extended in the future.
