Hi,

THREE.GLTFLoader returns a object with a [THREE.Scene](https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/scenes/Scene) that contains every object of your gltf.  
As THREE.Scene inherit from THREE.Object3D, you can use `Object3D.getObjectByName( name )` to find the child you’re interested in, provided that you named it before export (in Blender for instance).

Example :

```
gltfLoader.load('./path', (gltf)=> {

   myObject = gltf.scene.getObjectByName( 'nameOfMyObject' );

});
```

Small update: Since `R114`, the loader returns an instance of `THREE.Group`.

Hey thanks man. Is there any way like user can select any model on runtime and change the location of the model? 🙄

Unfortunately, your question is very broad. It’s unlikely that somebody will provide you a complete solution for your use case. I suggest you get familiar with raycasting first since this is the basic technique for interacting with 3D objects. The following example might be helpful in this context:
