Access to Inspector -> Properties -> Debug "render wireframe over mesh"

[Ian]

Inspector -> Properties -> Debug “render wireframe over mesh” seems quite powerful and handy, is it accessible programmatically? It doesn’t look like it has API documentation.

Thanks

Hi. It is here

BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/319af48f9f38f3118dc549b0528d95763b6ae9b2/inspector/src/components/actionTabs/tabs/propertyGrids/meshes/meshPropertyGridComponent.tsx#L48

and seems to be a simple clone of mesh.Cheers

[Ian]

Thanks MarianG, I’ll copy the source code technique then. It gives a lot of control over all the elements too.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if renderWireframeOver could be called programmatically?

[MarianG]

Great!
Oh, I didn’t understand very well what do you mean by ‘called programmatically’. Can you please explain a little bit? Do you want to call it outside of inspector?

[Ian]

Yes, I want to call it outside the inspector.

For example:

mesh1.renderWireframeOver();

[MarianG]

Mmm, I’m afraid we cann’t use it like that, but let ask @sebavan, only to be sure
Btw, you can create your custom function for this.

As @MarianG said the full implementation is part of the inspector, so you can not call it directly.

That said let s see with @Deltakosh if we should should move it to core ?

I am really wondering cause the code snippet is pretty short and it is a bit edge case for core.

[Deltakosh]

Yeah code is short enough to be consider an easy to reproduce snippet

And this way we do not bloat the framework too much

[Ian]

Yes that all makes sense to me.

Thanks everyone for your responses, time and code.
