Is it possible to view the metadata (specifically the “extras” section) of a GLTF model within the Sandbox? I can’t seem to find where that would be and haven’t found an old forum post asking for this. Thanks

Maybe we can add the ability to view the metadata in general to the inspector? @Blax There is already a loader extension that adds extras to the metadata. There is no need to add another extension. :slight_smile:

Hi. You just need register extension for loader before load: GLTFLoader.RegisterExtension("tagsExtension", function (loader) { return new TagsExtension(loader); }); and add tags as you need: class TagsExtension implements IGLTFLoaderExtension{ public name = "custom"; public enabled = true; co…

[image] Lonerobot: I am not seeing the metadata listed on the sandbox inspector. This hasn’t been implemented. I was saying that it might be good to add it as a feature. Feel free to file a feature request on GitHub. :wink:

Thank you for the clarification @bghgary - it’s really not an issue since it’s fairly trivial to test with a simple playground setup.
