I would like to create a Javascript that would show a part name as a tooltip when the user hovers the cursor in a 3D scene. The two challenges are 1)to determine which part the cursor is over without a mouse click to generate a hit, and 2) how to show the tooltip in the 3D scene.

I know the user can select the part and see the name in the Model Tree, this is meant to be a shortcut to quickly identify parts in a complex scene.

Any suggestions? I can't find anything relevant in the 3D API.

Not possible, sorry. JavaScript doesn't have the ability to create tooltips.

You may place fields with appropriate metadata next to 3D scene, and show data when the part is clicked. It is standart way.
