Hi there,

I’ve been having great luck appending glb scenes to my project that is already running on the web, but how to I access the individual models of the glb file, once it’s been loaded? Do I parse the data outside of the puzzle editor?

Best. :)

Just to add some more context, I’d like to maybe see the name of a model appear on a div element once it’s been loaded, or get a notification of some kind.

Object names in the exported files are basically the same as in the source .blend or .max file.

Thanks for getting back to me! I guess my question is, how can I access glb or gLTF nodes within Verge3D so that I can dynamically fetch names after the file has been uploaded.

This can be done with some programming. First, you need to obtain the loaded scene:

var scene = app.scene.getObjectByName("path/to/your/scene");

Then, you can search for objects in your scene as usual:
```
var objNameList = [];
scene.traverse(function(obj) {
    objNameList.push(obj.name)
});
```

traversing the app scene is working! last question, and it’s a silly one. How can I get a URL from the newly loaded file? I only ever see base64.

Thanks again for your time, it’s greatly appreciated :)
