Switch Node Plugin (Basic UI)
This plugin allows you to configure object variations in a file and apply them in the scene.
Each SwitchNode is a parent object with multiple direct children. Only one child is visible at a time.
This works by toggling the visible property of the children of a parent object.
The plugin interfaces with the picking plugin and also provides uiConfig to show and edit the variations.
It also provides a function to create snapshot previews of individual variations. This creates a limited render of the object with the selected child visible.
To get a proper render, its better to render it offline and set the image as a preview.
This functionality is inherited from SwitchNodeBasePlugin.
Additionally this plugin adds a Grid UI using GridItemListPlugin in the DOM over the viewer canvas to show various object variations and allow the user to select them.
The UI can also be used in the editor to edit the variations and apply them.
