Is there a way to select nodes in 3D programatically? I tried to use scene.selectedNode but I don't see anything in 3D area selected.

Thanks UVSAR! It helped. I was using it with node object. Another question though would be how do I unselect it? I mean when I select a node and then click on 3D area, the selection is lost. How do I do this using JavaScript?

To clear the selection via JS, set it back to being undefined (which in JS is a real object)
[b]scene.selectedNode=undefined;[/b]
To prevent the mouse clicks from selecting things in the scene, override the default tool events:
[b]runtime.overrideSelection = true;[/b]
[b]scene.selectedNode=undefined;[/b]
To prevent the mouse clicks from selecting things in the scene, override the default tool events:
[b]runtime.overrideSelection = true;[/b]
Example: scene contains a node called "box1"... attach this script to the 3D annotation:
[b]var boxmesh = scene.meshes.getByName("box1");
scene.selectedNode = boxmesh;[/b]
Note that disabling the default selection tool behavior doesn't stop you using the above method to select a node, and it still gets a highlight and bounding box.
