I am just trying to follow examples and get myself putting my own models into a scene. However, when using the FBXLoader, I'm not sure what if what I'm doing is right. I can only get one FBX to load at a time. I'm not a coder first, so sorry if my code looks sloppy:
I have an object called range_burners.fbx. It loads in fine by itself. I have a model called range_main.fbx that works just fine by itself. But both of them together, well the range_main.fbx always seems to take precedent.

Your code looks pretty good. It's not obvious to me why one would override the other, unless perhaps its hidden behind the other one?
Might try moving their initial positions?
Also, you probably want to do your THREE.WebGLRenderer initialization before you fire off the loaders.. i.e. put your loaders at the end of the init...
Another way to debug is to set 'wireframe:true" on your materials, so you can see of one of them is hiding inside the other...

I am trying to move a meshGroup to the right, and then move it back. But once the meshGroup is moved it can not move again, like only move to the right or left it works fine, but once it is moved it won't move back to the left or right. I am using meshGroup.position.x to do the movement, here is the code:
const moveMeshRight = (mainMeshGroup:Group) => {
gsap.to(mainMeshGroup.position, {
duration: 0.5,
x: 115,
onUpdate:()=>{
console.log(mainMeshGroup.position)
}
})
gsap.to(mainCamera.position,{
duration:0.5,
z:500
})
}
const moveMeshLeft = (mainMeshGroup:Group) => {
gsap.to(mainMeshGroup.position, {
duration: 0.5,
x:-115,
onUpdate:()=>{
console.log(mainMeshGroup.position)
}
})
}
They are used in two click event:
<div style={{ position: "absolute" }}>
{drawer?null:display1Fade}
{drawer?null:<Button style={{
position: 'absolute',
backgroundColor: 'black',
height: '60px',
marginLeft: '16px',
marginTop: '16px',
zIndex: 1
}} onClick={() => {
setDrawer(true);
//mainMeshGroup.position.x+=50
moveMeshRight(mainMeshGroup)
}}>
</Button>}
<div className={drawer?classes.displayButtonDivMove:classes.displayButtonDiv}>
{<div className={detail?classes.displayButtonExpand1:classes.displayButton}
onClick={()=>{
setDisplay1(true);
setDrawer(false);
moveMeshLeft(mainMeshGroup)
}}>
Display Type 1</div>}
{<div style={{marginLeft: '10px'}} className={detail?classes.displayButtonExpand2:classes.displayButton} onClick={()=>{setDisplay1(false);setDrawer(false)}}>Display Type 2</div>}
</div>
Here is a complete example that demonstrate simple left/right animations controlled via two buttons:
let camera, scene, renderer;
let group;
init();
animate();
function init() {
camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(70, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.01, 10);
camera.position.z = 4;
scene = new THREE.Scene();
group = new THREE.Group();
scene.add(group);
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
const material = new THREE.MeshNormalMaterial();
const mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
group.add(mesh);
renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({
antialias: true
});
renderer.setPixelRatio(window.devicePixelRatio);
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);
const btnLeft = document.getElementById('btn-left');
btnLeft.addEventListener('pointerdown', moveLeft);
const btnRight = document.getElementById('btn-right');
btnRight.addEventListener('pointerdown', moveRight);
}
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
function moveLeft() {
gsap.to(group.position, {
duration: 1,
x: -1
});
}
function moveRight() {

my problem is that i have buttons : "view" button that enable OrbitControls , "move" button that disable OrbitControls so i can use DragControls, "cube" button that add a cube (or many cubes) to the scene and everything works fine, but when i added a "remove" button so i can remove the cube, it didnt work it says that the cube is not defined. So what should i do ? `

You have to declare your cube variable outside of createCube(). It's then in a scope that can be accessed by removeCube().
I'm learning how to integrate Three.js to Polymer's Lit-Element. My current problem is that I need refer to a div element to append Three's Renderer element. Here's how it is done usually:
box = document.getElementById("box")
box.appendChild(renderer.domElement)
Unfortunately, I am not able find how to refer from the constructor()/firstUpdate() to the div declared in the render function. How would you do that?
Here's my best result for now:
Renderer element off target
Here's the code to get this result:

Any suggestion will be welcomed.
In your constructor function you can keep variables to use in other functions later by set it to this
this.renderer = renderer
Then in firstUpdated function you can do
firstUpdated () {
let box = this.shadowRoot.getElementById('box')
box.appendChild(this.renderer.domElement)
}
Example Code:
<script type='module'>
import { LitElement, html } from '#polymer/lit-element'
import * as THREE from 'three/build/three.module'
class BoxTest extends LitElement {
constructor () {
super()
var scene = new THREE.Scene()
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, 1, 0.1, 1000)
var geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry(1, 1, 1)
var material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00, wireframe: true })
var cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material)
scene.add(cube)
camera.position.z = 5
;(function animate () {
requestAnimationFrame(animate)
cube.rotation.x += 0.01
cube.rotation.y += 0.01
renderer.render(scene, camera)
}())
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer()
renderer.setSize(300, 300)
this.renderer = renderer
}
firstUpdated () {
let box = this.shadowRoot.getElementById('box')
box.appendChild(this.renderer.domElement)
}
render () {
return html`
<style>
#box { border: 1px solid red; height: 310px; width: 310px;}
</style>
<section>
The webgl animation must be in the red box
<div id="box"></div>

}

window.customElements.define('box-test', BoxTest)

I'm having a hard time trying to get a cylinder aligned to a particular vector. I've seen and tried a number of possible solutions, but to no avail. My understanding is that all I should need to do is to position the cylinder at the center of the vector and use LookAt() to align it. Below I've attached a simple example of this where I add a line, then am attempting to align the cylinder to this line. Would anyone be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong? TIA

All you need to do is rotate the cylinder so it aligns with the z-axis instead of the y-axis.
cylinder = new THREE.Mesh( new THREE.CylinderGeometry( .2, .2, 7.5, 8 ), material );
cylinder.geometry.rotateX( Math.PI / 2 );
cylinder.geometry.translate( 0, 0, - 7.5 / 2 ); // optional
When you call object.lookAt( target ), the oject's local positive z-axis is oriented toward the target.

I am having trouble knowing how the set the camera. What i have tried is using a example and just changing the OBJLoader url to my file

It somewhat works. When i load the page i dont see anything. But when i zoom out, the object 'flies in' from the top left corner of my screen. All i really need is just for the object to be centered on the screen.
How are you guys achieving this? The OBJ is not created by me and its settings (height, width etc etc) can vary.
The fact that you say "the object 'flies in' from the top left corner" suggests to me that your .OBJ is not centred, as in, when it was exported from the 3D editor, it was not centred.
It will need to be centred in the 3D authoring program and exported again.
