Hello,

I know how the import glTF scene but I’m lost when trying to access selected meshes from this scene. I could not find where it is explained. How can I list all imported objects in the glTF scene and/or select just one of them.

Thank you.

I can’t tell much about the gltf loader, if the result is a scene object, you can either use this as your scene right away or loop through the children and add them to another object.

You can traverse through the list of children objects in the loaded scene using the traverse function below.

```auto
GLTFLoader.load(src, function(gltfModel) {

  gltfModel.scene.traverse(function (child) {
    
    console.log(child);

  });

});

```
