Something like that.

console.log(“true”);
}

getObjectByName involves iterating over every object in the scene, which is slow if you have a lot of objects.

If the object is a direct child of the scene, this is a lot faster:

if (object.parent === scene) {
    // The object is in the scene.
}

If the object is a child of another object, then maybe doing a recursive lookup through the .parent property is better. Try to avoid .traverse or getObjectBy*** methods if you already know/have the object.
