I´ve been trying to enable tooltips on some imported 3D models, but it isnt working.

I already enabled tooltips in threbox, and I enabled tooltips in the options for the 3d element, as shown below.

tb = new Threebox(
    map,
        mbxContext,
    {
        realSunlight: true,
        enableSelectingFeatures: true, //change this to false to disable fill-extrusion features selection
        enableTooltips: true // change this to false to disable default tooltips on fill-extrusion and 3D models 
    }
);
var proptions = {
    obj: './models/er.glb',
    type: 'gltf',
    scale: 10,
    units: 'meters',
    rotation: { x: 90, y: 0, z: 0 }, //default rotation
    anchor: 'center',
    adjustment: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0.4 },
    enableToltips: true
}

When i load the object i did the following:

tb.loadObj(proptions, function (model) {
    model.setCoords(place);
    model.addTooltip("A radar in the middle of nowhere", true);
    model.setRotation({ x: 0, y: 0, z: Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) })
    tb.add(model);
});

Although the object appears in the render, when I put the mouse above or i click it nothing shows the tooltip.

What am I missing ?

EDIT:

Following @jscastro response i changed the import in the top of my html page to <link href="./threebox-plugin/examples/css/threebox.css" rel="stylesheet" /> (the path is the correct to where the file is)

I also removed the enableTooltip: true in proptions.

Despite that it still does not work, Below i will leave the code as it is:

var origin = [-8.4, 41.20, 1];
var map = new mapboxgl.Map({
    container: 'map',
    style: 'mapbox://styles/mapbox/streets-v11',
    center: origin,
    zoom: 11,
    pitch: 30,
    antialias: true
});

//Things related to dateTime ommited

window.tb = new Threebox(
    map,
    map.getCanvas().getContext('webgl'),
    {
        realSunlight: true,
        enableSelectingFeatures: true, //change this to false to disable fill-extrusion features selection
        enableTooltips: true // change this to false to disable default tooltips on fill-extrusion and 3D models 
    }
);

map.on('style.load', async function () {
    await importarLinhas();
    // stats
    // stats = new Stats();
    // map.getContainer().appendChild(stats.dom);
    animate();

            
    map.addLayer({
        id: 'custom_layer',
        type: 'custom',
        renderingMode: '3d',
        onAdd: function (map, mbxContext) {

            var eroptions = {
                obj: './models/stationBus.fbx',

                units: 'meters',
                rotation: { x: 90, y: 20, z: 0 }, //default rotation
                anchor: 'center',
                adjustment: { x: -0.1, y: -0.1, z: 0.4 }
            }

            var poptions = {
                obj: './models/Busstop.fbx',

            }

            var proptions = {

                    var place = [element.lng, element.lat, 0];

                    //cylinder as "base" for each one of the 3d Models

                    const cylinder = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);

                    var baseOptions = {

                        anchor: 'center',
                        adjustment: { x: 0, y: 0, z: -0.4 }
                    }

                    let base = tb.Object3D(baseOptions);
                    base.setCoords(place);
                    base.setRotation({ x: 90, y: 0, z: 0 })
                    //The text is just for the test
                    base.addTooltip("A radar in the middle of nowhere", true);

EDIT I downloaded the page you shared in the chat, and I found many different issues and mistakes in your code.

1. You're using the wrong property to enable the selection of 3D objects, you use enableSelectingFeatures: true, //change this to false to disable fill-extrusion features selection, that is for Mapbox fill-extrusions features as said in the comment, but not for 3D models and objects, you have to use enableSelectingObjects: true. Only adding this, your problem with the tooltips on mouse over will be solved.

tb = new Threebox(
    map,
        mbxContext,
    {
        realSunlight: true,
        enableSelectingObjects: true, //enable 3D models over/selection
        enableTooltips: true // enable default tooltips on fill-extrusion and 3D models 
    }
);

But I have found other issues...
2. Your models scale initialization is too small, so you are hiding them below the big shapes you have created. The scale of your bus stop is scale: 0.01 and you define a place which is on the ground var place = [element.lng, element.lat, 0];, so it's hidden inside this CylinderGeometry enter image description here If you use scale: 1 you will see how your bus stops raises from the cylinder. enter image description here

3. Same with the bus, you initialize them with scale: 1, which make them be hidden below the tubes and cylinders you have created. If you initialize them with scale: 10, and you elevate them 5 meters from the floor let truck = model.setCoords([lngB, latB, 4]); then you will see them raising. enter image description here

4. Your models have a wrong initialization params mixing anchor and adjustment. anchor: center will center the pivotal center of your object properly, but then you apply negative values to x and y (which means decenter the object), and a z value that elevates the pivotal center adjustment: { x: -0.1, y: -0.1, z: 0.4 }. If you want your model on altitude use the 3rd coord in setCoords.

5. Your Cylinders and Tubes for the bus stops and bus lines are huge, and also they have the wrong init params, as you set them below the ground level -0.4 units adjustment: { x: 0, y: 0, z: -0.4 } (something supported by Mapbox but very bad resolved and producing weird effects. My recommendation would be to make them almost flat and at the ground level with no adjustment param. const geometry = new THREE.CylinderGeometry(0.6, 0.6, 0.01, 32);.

Summarizing, check all of these changes and let me know if it works.

  • Thank you for the fast response. I changed the import in the top of my html and i removed the enableToltips: true in var proptions, but it still does not show the tooltip. I will update my post for more code – tiagofonseca1109 Jan 09 '21 at 21:15
  • Yes please, add the full code of the page and a link to the model you are loading, and I'll review it. It must work – jscastro Jan 09 '21 at 21:19
  • This is the link of one of the models [link] https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/kyoto-cityscene-bus-stop-5eb07fc3b28f474dbf15b1bbac814c82 I use some other models retrived from windows 3D Vizualization, but i dont have a link to it. – tiagofonseca1109 Jan 09 '21 at 21:48
  • your model from windows 10 3D is the yellow one or the red one?? – jscastro Jan 09 '21 at 21:52
  • The bus is not used in the part of the code i posted, it is ommited as i dont want to put a tooltip in that model, but just for testing i tried but it did not work – tiagofonseca1109 Jan 09 '21 at 21:57
  • Got it, I updated my answer, the problem with the shadow is in the bus stop model. With the tooltips I didn't find any issue loading the 3 of them, the tooltip is shown properly on mouseover and selected, so please share your full code, because you should have something wrong in the page. – jscastro Jan 09 '21 at 22:14
