Access Description
Get and set The way in which the sides of the model's resource
are drawn. The choices are as follows:
#none
model is invisible.
#front
surface of the model are drawn, so that, if the
camera were inside the model, the model wouldn't
be seen. Also known as "back face culling," this
option optimizes performance.
#back
object are drawn, so that if the camera were outside
the model, the model wouldn't be seen.
#both
model is visible regardless of orientation. This may
solve drawing problems, but it can also affect
performance because twice as many polygons
must be drawn.
The default is
Get and set Value indicating whether debug information is
drawn for this model. If the value is
lines from the x, y, and z axes are drawn sprouting
up from the model to indicate its orientation, and a
bounding sphere is drawn around the model.
Get A list containing a vector and a floating-point value.
The vector represents the position of the model in
world space, and the floating-point value
represents the radius of the bounding sphere that
contains the model and its children.
Get Position of the model in world coordinates. A quick
shortcut for
model.getWorldTransform().
