OptionalboundsFixed local-space box used in place of this node's subtree when measuring bounds; see Container3D.boundsVolume
OptionalcastWhether the light casts shadows; see Light.castShadow
OptionalchildrenChildren to add, in order
OptionalcolorColour of the light, as any ColorSource; see Light.color
OptionalcursorCSS cursor shown while this node is the pointer's target
Only the target's own cursor counts, as in 2D: a hit on a 'passive' child shows its
interactive ancestor's cursor, so set it on the node with the listeners. null shows the
View3D's own cursor. Any CSS cursor value works, url(...) included.
button.cursor = 'pointer';
handle.cursor = 'grab';
blade.cursor = 'url("crosshair.png") 8 8, crosshair'; // custom, with a hotspot

OptionaldepthTarget depth along z; sets scale.z from the local bounds of the node and its children
OptionaleventHow this node takes part in pointer events, as on a pixi.js Container
'none': never picked, and neither is anything below it. The subtree costs nothing per
pointer event.'passive' (default): fires no listeners and is never the target. Under an interactive
ancestor it is still picked, and the hit goes to that ancestor with this node's surface
data. So one 'static' group makes its whole subtree clickable, with the group as target.'auto': as 'passive', but ray-tested even with no interactive ancestor, which costs time
and finds no target. Prefer 'passive'.'static': picked against its hitVolume, and fires
listeners.'dynamic': as 'static', and the View3D also picks again while a mouse or pen is
still, so a node that moves under it gets its enter and leave events.The renderer's eventMode option only sets the default for 2D containers, and the View warns
once when it isn't 'passive'. Picking costs time for each node that takes part, so set the
mode on the nodes and groups that need it.
OptionalheightTarget height along y; sets scale.y from the local bounds of the node and its children
OptionalhitShape the pointer ray is tested against when picking this node, like hitArea in 2D
Setting it doesn't make the node interactive; eventMode
does that. Left null, a Mesh3D uses its geometry's bounding box and a plain
Container3D has no shape, so it only hears events from its children.
A shape you set also clips the node's descendants, as hitArea does in 2D: a descendant only
hits where the hit point is inside every such shape above it, whatever those nodes'
eventMode. A clipped hit doesn't block what is behind it. A Geometry3D clips by its bounding
box, an IHitVolume3D only through its optional containsPoint, and the default
bounding box never clips. A ray that misses a Box or Sphere shape, or a Geometry3D's
bounding box, skips the exact test of every descendant under it.
mesh.interactive = true; // picked by its bounding box
mesh.hitVolume = 'geometry'; // picked per triangle
mesh.hitVolume = new Sphere(center, 0.4); // a cheaper or tighter shape
mesh.hitVolume = null; // back to the bounding box
// Children of the porthole only pick inside its sphere
porthole.hitVolume = new Sphere(new Vector3(), 1);
HitVolume3DInput For what each accepted value resolves to.
OptionalintensityBrightness; see Light.intensity
OptionalinteractiveShorthand for eventMode, as on a pixi.js Container
true sets 'static' and false sets 'passive'. It reads true for 'static' and
'dynamic'. false doesn't stop picking: under an interactive ancestor, a 'passive' node is
still picked on that ancestor's behalf. Set eventMode = 'none' to take a node and its
subtree out of picking.
OptionalinteractiveWhether this node's descendants can be picked, as on a pixi.js Container
false takes the whole subtree out of picking: descendants neither hit nor block what is
behind them, and cost nothing per pointer event. The node itself still picks by its own
eventMode and volume, so it can answer for the subtree.
menu.interactiveChildren = false; // nothing in the menu can be picked
menu.interactiveChildren = true; // every button picks again, eventMode intact
// One sphere answers for the whole robot: one ray test instead of one per mesh
robot.eventMode = 'static';
robot.hitVolume = new Sphere(new Vector3(), 2);
robot.interactiveChildren = false;

Fired when a pointer goes down on this node: mouse, touch or pen alike.

target3D is the node that was pressed, and hit3D is what the pointer was released over.

OptionalontapProperty-based handler for the tap event
Fired when a touch completes a tap on this node. Chrome gives each touch a new pointerId, and
detail only counts repeat taps by the same one, so it stays 1 there; time a double tap yourself.

mesh.ontap = (e) => {
if (e.timeStamp - lastTap < 300) focusOn(mesh); // double tap
lastTap = e.timeStamp;
};
