Clean up after use

[ShaneTex]

I have in my process a way to load new models on demand, but there will be a set for each location via xml, is there a way to clean up or dispose of all models, prior to loading new ones? I did see a way to completed dispose of tb, but only if you you navigating away from the site, is there a way to keep it clean as you go, and only clean up sets of models.

You can remove now the models one by one using tb.remove. I’m gonna try to solve this one and #35 at the same time with the method tb.clear, I’ve been testing with different loop methods and I will do a while (tb.world.children.length > 0) and in the loop do a tb.remove(model).
I tried with for, forEach and traverse and all of them are not suitable to remove items in the collection that is being looped, so while would be my best bet

@jscastro76 That sounds great, thanks

@jscastro76 Also, is there a way to turn off the wireframe around a model, but still be able to select, and highlight, etc.

you can set obj.boundingBox and obj.boundingBoxShadow to null once the object is loaded. I have a pending issue open #3 to make the color of these bounding boxes configurable

Gotcha, sould would I use this to remove or clean all:
while (tb.world.children.length > 0) {
tb.remove(tb.world.children[0]);
}

On the bounding box, thanks that is great

I'm working quickly to deliver v.2.0.5 with these changes done, so you will only need to call tb.setStyle instead of map.setStyle.

On the bounding box, thanks that is great

I have no time to add issue #3 for this release, so you should set those to null in every object loaded, so I would do something like this...

tb.loadObj(options, function (model) {
	model.setCoords(originCoords);
	model.boundingBox = null; //this removes the yellow/green box
	model.boundingBoxShadow = null; //this removes the black floor projection box
	tb.add(model);
})

Awesome, will do.
