(baked?) Shadow on the model wont update

[danilokrulj]

Hello, I am trying to make some type of configurator where you can add/remove model parts. The problem I am facing is that when I remove parts of the model the parts that were not visible appear to have baked shadows like the removed part is still there. The pictures will probably explain it better than me :)

Ah yes, this is not any shadows created by model-viewer, but the shadowing of your ambient occlusion texture (exported in your GLB). You'll need to update your texture to remove those: https://modelviewer.dev/examples/scenegraph/#createTexturesExample

Thank you, I checked the model in blender and it did have an occlusion map, removed it and the problem was solved.

Oh and one more thing. When I swap the model parts it sometime doesn't update the viewer until I manually move it with my mouse. Any clues why? I call updateFraming() and updateShadow() on every change on the model, am I missing something?

That sounds like a bug. Can you file an issue with a simple repro link?

[danilokrulj]

Sure, I am not sure how to do that though :) do I just upload a link to the webpage where I uploaded the project?

Sure, that's fine - just make sure to include precise steps that will always make the problem appear, so we can reproduce it. A screen recording would help too.
