How to get the coordinates from a point on mouseclick in the new viewer

I want to get the coordinates from a point in the viewer (newest version) after clicking, but it seems it has been changed from the previous version of the viewer.

SDV.addListener(SDV.EVENTTYPE.INTERACTION.SELECT_ON, (e) => {
addPoint(e);
});
.
var addPoint = function(event) {
console.log(“add point”);
pickPoint = event.selectPos;
.

I can’t get a selectpos from the event, while in previous versions that was the way.

Any help?

Hey @Robin_van_Wijk,
sorry for the late replay, we had quite a few holidays in the last weeks.

I just deployed a new viewer version 2.0.9 that now also exposes the intersectionPoint in this event.
Please let me know if that is all you need, if not, we can always expose more there!

Cheers, Michael

Hi Michael,

Sorry, we were closed for holidays last weeks.
Thanks for the development. We are going into it, to see if we can work with this.
We’ll keep you posted.

Regards, Robin

The solution works for when the viewport is in 3D perspective. It returns the right coordinates.
But when is set the viewport in view from the top, i get weird coordinates which seems to be related to the zoom level.
Can you take a look at it?

Thanks in advance.
