Dispose() method in Viewer.ts

[saschabul]

Would be great to have Dispose() method in Viewer.ts implemented :)

Any news about this?

We have a Vue3 web app with multiple routes.

When the viewer is loaded the first time it works fine:

But after routing back to the same viewer component the shading breaks: We do the following

onBeforeUnmount(async () => {
  if (viewer) {
    await viewer.unloadAll();
    viewer.dispose();
  }
});

The current implementation of dispose() says // TODO: currently it's easier to simply refresh the page :)

Refreshing the page does solve the issue which can also be done with location.reload() but this causes a white page every time we change components.

Is there a better workaround? I tried using DebugViewer and disposing of the WebGLRenderer but with no luck.

Thanks.

Hi again, do you have any information about a possible workaround for this issue? How can we properly dispose of the Renderer ourselves?
