Move Camera Origin in Modelviewer

[LeClam]

Sorry if this question has been asked already. I have an object with annotations in my modelviewer.

When I click on an annotation a sidebar fades in from the right side to show some information.

At this point, the modelviewer focusses the Annotation and adjust the camera-view according to the data-orbit and data-target of the annotation button which results in the annotation getting positioned right in the center of the screen. However in case of a sidebar window being visible on the right side, it would cover up the model partially.

I would therefore highly appreciate it if i could move the "focus" or "origin" slightly to the left

I tried to simply move the whole modelviewer to the side but this of course results in the model getting cropped if I should move it to the far right.

Has someone an idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

I would recommend exactly the approach you took - shrink the MV element. With a slightly different sidebar gradient I think it'll look quite nice. If you're concerned about the model clipping, you can disable-pan.

Thanks for the fast response. That's not really the effect I wanted to achieve. The sidebar is semi-transparent and the user should still be able to move the object after clicking on the hotspot. I think you can't make the overflow of the modelviewer "visible" to prevent clipping, right?

Is there no other way to move the origin point in the model viewer?

We don't have an API to move the center of the render away from the center of the element. You could probably do some tricks with an over-large element and CSS masking if you really want to.

Oh, that's a bummer, I was hoping something like that would be possible. Anyway thanks for the help.

Could this be resolved by setting the target point?
