How can we improve documentation?

One of these is depreciated, which is it?

Depreciated is for cars.
Deprecated is for API’s.

BoxGeometry was once replaced by BoxBufferGeometry, (thus BoxGeometry was deprecated) then BoxBufferGeometry replaced BoxGeometry, and BoxBufferGeometry was deprecated, and BoxGeometry was replaced by BoxBufferGeometry, and un-deprecated. It was a weird time. We have scars.

Now we pretend like the original Geometry class never existed, but it still pops up now and then like a zombie.

There’s good information in the docs, but they are getting pretty creaky. The search is weird/busted in the examples, and in the API docs. They really need some modernization / love.

Is there a way of exclude some geometry from global-clipping?

I have a complex scene which has a lot of objects and materials, and I want to add clip-plane to this scene, I know there are two ways of add clipping, global way is by renderer, and add all these planes to materials clipplane, this is local. because I have a lot of objects and material, iterate all the materials to add these clip plane is a time consuming task, but if I use the global clipping plane, then the TransformControls of those plane will also be clipped, so I wonder if there is some b…

According to the above .traverse is a method for scene. I can’t find it in the documentation.

Ha, I never noticed. Now I don’t have to explain how novice I am.

Thanks for the reply. I’m struggling with the docs as I learn. Yes, the search doesn’t work well.

It’s inherited from Object3D (you can see the inheritance chain at the top of every docs page.)
