Node
Overview
Node is a class in Aspose.3D FOSS for Typescript.
Inherits from: SceneObject.
Node.constructor creates a node with the specified name and initial entity.
This class provides 13 methods for working with Node objects in Typescript programs.
Available methods include: addChildNode, addEntity, clearEntities, constructor, createChildNode, evaluateGlobalTransform, getBoundingBox, getChild, merge, removeEntity, selectObjects, selectSingleObject, and 1 additional methods.
All public members are accessible to any Typescript application after installing the Aspose.3D FOSS for Typescript package.
Properties: assetInfo, childNodes, entities, entity, excluded, globalTransform, and 6 more.
Description
Node is a class in the Aspose.3D FOSS library for TypeScript that exposes 12 methods and 12 properties for programmatic use. It extends SceneObject, inheriting shared functionality from its parent type.
Core capabilities include: node \; node[]; entity[]`. These operations enable developers to integrate node functionality directly into TypeScript applications.
The class also provides the childNodes property (gets the child nodes), the entities property (gets the entities), the materials property (gets the materials).
Instances are created through a single constructor that initializes the object with default values.

Methods
| Signature | Description |
|---|---|
constructor(name: string, entity: Entity) | Creates a node with the specified name and initial entity |
addEntity(entity: Entity) | Attaches the given entity to the node’s entity collection |
removeEntity(entity: Entity) | Detaches the specified entity from the node |
clearEntities() | Removes all entities from the node |
addChildNode(node: Node) | Adds an existing node as a child of this node |
createChildNode(nodeName: string, entity: Entity, material: Material) → Node | Creates a new child node with name, entity, and material, and returns it |
getChild(indexOrName: number | string) → Node | null | Returns the child node at the given index or with the given name, or null |
merge(node: Node) | Incorporates the contents of another node into this node |
evaluateGlobalTransform(withGeometricTransform: boolean) → Matrix4 | Computes the node’s global transform matrix, optionally including geometric transform |
getBoundingBox() → BoundingBox | Returns the bounding box. |
selectSingleObject(_path: string) → any | Not implemented in the FOSS edition — throws at runtime. Selects a single object in the node hierarchy using the provided path |
selectObjects(_path: string) → any[] | Not implemented in the FOSS edition — throws at runtime. Selects all objects matching the given path and returns them as an array |
toString() → string |
