Getting click event of the model as coordinate

[softmarshmallow]

From example, i cannot find example of getting the click event of the model.

The final approach that i want to establish is, getting click event, displaying annotations on to that clicked pos of model.

Not sure if this will return the value i'm expecting, Will try and let you know.

Thanks for the fast support :)

@softmarshmallow the link from the @elalish should work. As, I was also using this methodology to display the annotations on the desired clicked position when I was working on the annotations on my project.

But keep in mind two to three things. you have to focus on position and normal separately that you will get from viewer.positionAndNormalFromPoint(x, y) for further use (in case you want to automate hotspots).

Another important thing, if you are working with two model-viewer instances on the same page than event.clientX will not behave correctly. For this, you have to use event.layerX etc. See this issue as well #2554 (I did not use this thing, but it's good to know in case of multiple instances)

If you found your solution feel free to close the issue and open it again if you need any help.
