Problem implementing orbit camera and turntable in React.js

Hi,
Оne of the next problems I encountered is implementing orbit camera, and turntable. I was trying to follow the following pages:

[OperatorId — HOOPS Communicator 2024.2.0 Documentation]

[OperatorManager — HOOPS Communicator 2024.2.0 Documentation]

Here is an example implementation(reffer to handleOperationChange):

import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import ModelTree from "./ModelTree";
import LayerTree from "./LayerTree";
import HomeIcon from "~/icons/HomeIcon";
import ExplodeCubeIcon from "~/icons/ExplodeCubeIcon";
import Select from 'react-select';
import Tooltip from "../basics/Tooltip";

const operatorOptions = [
  { value: 'Orbit', label: 'Orbit' },
  { value: 'Turntable', label: 'Turntable' }
];


const cameraPositions = {
  Front: { position: { x: 10, y: 0, z: 0 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 } },
  Back: { position: { x: -10, y: 0, z: 0 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 } },
  Right: { position: { x: 0, y: 10, z: 0 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 } },
  Left: { position: { x: 0, y: -10, z: 0 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 1 } },
  Top: { position: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 10 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: 1, z: 1 } },
  Bottom: { position: { x: 0, y: 0, z: -10 }, target: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 }, up: { x: 0, y: -1, z: 1 } }
};

When I selectt ‘Orbit’ for example the camera is breaking, and when I select ‘Turntable’ camera mode is not changing at all. Any advice will be very helpfull for me. Thank you in advance !

Hello @dayana,

By default, the operator stack will have its own set of operators already in the stack. Of note among these operators is CameraNavigationOperator – which is at the bottom of the stack. As mentioned in our docs, it is not recommended to push an operator to the top of stack as this could interfere with “similar” operators already in the stack. In this case, Navigate and Orbit are both camera-related operators.

Rather than calling pop, you can try calling set to replace Navigate with Orbit:

operatorManager.set(operatorId, 0);

This should also work with Turntable.

Thanks,
Tino

Hello, @tino

Thank you for providing me this solution! It works now as expected. Thank you !

Best regards,
Dayana
