solved BABYLON.GUI.CylinderPanel() positioning

[oschakravarthi]

Hi,

 

Thank you all for your support. I am progressing well with my POC.

I am stuck on a problem.

On a click on a mesh, I am populating few buttons into CylinderPanel. The panel is being displayed somewhere else. not even in the viewport.

This panel should be shown to the user in front of the camera so that user can click on any of the buttons.

How can I bring the panel in front of the camera (or make it appear in the viewport).

 

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way I know is to use an anchor and then move the anchor.

let anchor = new BABYLON.TransformNode("") // this can be a mesh, too
anchor.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, 0); // or whereeverr
cylinderPanel.linkToTransformNode(anchor)

To bring in front of the camera, you can use the camera position and facing direction (getForwardRay()), but I imagine you have a set place in the scene.

It did not work when i try to reposition it to some other position.
