some settings are not applied to the initial state of the viewer

[sgtkt]

I have recently had to reset VSCode and set up all plugins and their settings from scratch. I had to spend a lot of time and nerves trying to set up the OCP viewer, as some settings were not applied consistently.

Eventually I realized that the viewer ignores some settings at first, when it shows the OCP logo, but does apply them later, when I run my file the first time.

It's a minor issue, but it may cause a lot of confusion, so it would be nice if it's fixed someday.

I am now looking into it. The logo is a very special object which I liked to look the same independent of any setings.

It is built with command:

{
  "_splash": false,
  "ambient_intensity": 1,
  "angular_tolerance": 0.2,
  "axes": false,
  "axes0": true,
  "black_edges": false,
  "center_grid": false,
  "collapse": 1,
  "control": "trackball",
  "debug": false,
  "default_color": "#e8b024",
  "default_edgecolor": "#707070",
  "default_facecolor": "Violet",
  "default_opacity": 0.5,
  "default_thickedgecolor": "MediumOrchid",
  "default_vertexcolor": "MediumOrchid",
  "deviation": 0.1,
  "direct_intensity": 1.1,
  "explode": false,
  "glass": true,
  "grid": [true, false, false],
  "helper_scale": 1.0,
  "measure_tools": false,
  "metalness": 0.3,
  "modifier_keys": {
    "shift": "shiftKey",
    "ctrl": "ctrlKey",
    "meta": "metaKey"
  },
  "new_tree_behavior": true,
  "ortho": false,
  "pan_speed": 1,
  "render_edges": true,
  "render_joints": false,
  "render_mates": false,
  "render_normals": false,
  "reset_camera": "reset",
  "rotate_speed": 1,
  "roughness": 0.65,
  "show_parent": false,
  "show_sketch_local": true,
  "ticks": 10,
  "timeit": false,
  "tools": true,
  "transparent": false,
  "up": "Z",
  "zoom_speed": 1,
  "zoom": 0.8,
  "position": [92.4, -99.3, -6.6],
  "quaternion": [0.6047, 0.2156, 0.2603, 0.7212],
  "normal_len": 0
}

So, it will by intention ignore all alternative settings.

I have added this note to the next versions README:

Note: Do not use the OCP CAD Viewer logo to verify your OCP CAD Viewer settings! The logo overwrites all your settings in VS Code with its own settings to always look the same on each instance. Use a simple own model for checking your configuration.
