Autodesk Forge Viewer v7 - setThemingColor


I hope somebody can help me with a question about the setThemingColor function for the Autodesk Forge Viewer.

Basically my issue is that when I run the

viewer.setThemingColor(dbId, new Vector4( 1, 1, 1, 1 ), null, true )

from within my code nothing happens, and the element does not get a new color.

What I have tried:

1) If I try to run exactly the same line of code in the browser on the NOP_VIEWER it works, but only if it is a new dbId and not the one which had just been run from within my code.

2) I have tried to make sure to find the leaf dbId and use this. Did not have any effect.

3) I have tried to add the model to the function call:

viewer.setThemingColor(dbId, new Vector4( 1, 1, 1, 1 ), model, true )

4) I have tried to run the function on the level of the model:

model.setThemingColor(dbId, new Vector4( 1, 1, 1, 1 ));

viewer.impl.invalidate(true);

5) I have from within my code tested viewer.isolate(dbId) to make sure I have access to the viewer instance. And this works.

Is anybody else experiencing the same issue or can replicate the bug? I hope somebody can help us out.

EDIT: More infor after Petr Broz answer:

"What version of the viewer are you using?": We are using v. 7.*

"Do you see any error logs in the console after setting the theming color?": I see no error logs.

"At what point in time are you trying to set the color (for example, after the GEOMETRY_LOADED_EVENT)?": I use a onClick event on button, so it is after GEOMETRY_LOADED_EVENT

ANSWER:

I found the solution. I had to import THREE as a global.

/* global THREE */

instead of

import {Vector4d} from "three"


Solution

  • Here's a quick codepen setting the theming color on a pre-configured dbID (roof of the house), using viewer version 7.* (currently 7.10): https://codepen.io/petrbroz/pen/WNbYXWz.

    It'd be helpful if we had some additional info, for example:

    • What version of the viewer are you using?
    • Do you see any error logs in the console after setting the theming color?
    • At what point in time are you trying to set the color (for example, after the GEOMETRY_LOADED_EVENT)?
