Setting camera position

[kamil]

Hi

You are correct, there is no direct way to get current view parameters, however you can store current view returned from ‘onViewSwitchDone’ and store it in a mutable variable.

Please take a look at this post:

Detect current view mode!

This isn’t documented in the GitHub - shapespark/shapespark-viewer-api: JavaScript API for interacting with the Shapespark 3D scene., but per this forum thread: Get details of view by name the view object is now passed to the onViewSwitchDone callback as the second argument. You can inspect the mode property. Something like: WALK.getViewer().onViewSwitchDone(function(viewName, view) { if (view.mode === 'orbit') { console.log('Switched to an orbit view ' + viewName); } });

You could infer the view parameters from the last view used.
To set view to ORBIT or WALK you would need to set view.mode to either orbit or fps
TOP view is special mode of ‘orbit’ view with parameters:

• view.noPitchRotate set to true
• view.rotation[1] set to -90;

There might be some other adjustments you need to consider, like minDistance, and maxDistance, depending on your specific needs.
