#### clear() → None

Remove all children from this object.

#### find_and_execute(node: [Object3D](fiftyone.core.threed.object_3d.md#fiftyone.core.threed.object_3d.Object3D), predicate, on_match, stop_on_first_match: [bool](fiftyone.core.stages.md#fiftyone.core.stages.Exists.bool) = False) → [bool](fiftyone.core.stages.md#fiftyone.core.stages.Exists.bool)

Recursively search the scene graph and execute an action on
matching nodes.

This is a generic method for traversing the scene graph and
performing operations on nodes that match a given predicate.
It can be used for finding and removing nodes, collecting nodes,
updating nodes, etc.

The traversal continues into the subtrees of both matching and
non-matching nodes. For matching nodes, the subtree is traversed
when on_match returns True and stop_on_first_match is False.

* **Parameters:**
  * **node** – the node to start searching from
  * **predicate** – a function that takes a child Object3D and returns
  * **criteria** (*True if it matches the search*)
  * **on_match** – a function called when a match is found, takes
  * **(****parent**
  * **searching** ([*child*](fiftyone.core.odm.md#fiftyone.core.odm.WorkspaceDocument.child) *)* *and returns True to continue*)
  * **to** (*False*)
  * **stop**
  * **stop_on_first_match** – if True, stop searching after first match
  * **processed** (*is*)
* **Returns:**
  True if a match was found and we should stop, False otherwise

### Example

# Find all nodes with a specific name and collect them
matches = []
def predicate(child):

> return child.name == “target”

def on_match(parent, child):
: matches.append(child)
  return True  # continue searching

scene.find_and_execute(scene, predicate, on_match)

#### *property* local_transform_matrix

(non-uniform scaling) might have unexpected results.

This method searches recursively through the entire scene graph starting
from this object and removes any matching objects from their parent’s
children list.

* **Parameters:**
  **\*objs** – one or more Object3D instances to remove
* **Raises:**
  * **ValueError** – if any of the objects to remove is this object itself
  * **ValueError** – if any of the objects is not found in the scene graph

#### remove_by_name(name: str) → None

Remove all objects with the given name from the scene graph recursively.

This method searches recursively through the entire scene graph starting
from this object and removes all objects matching the given name from
their parent’s children lists.

Remove the object with the given UUID from the scene graph recursively.

This method searches recursively through the entire scene graph starting
from this object and removes the object matching the given UUID from its
parent’s children list. UUIDs should be unique, so only one match is expected.

* **Parameters:**
  **target_uuid** – the UUID of the object to remove
* **Raises:**
  * **ValueError** – if attempting to remove this object itself by UUID
  * **ValueError** – if no object with the given UUID is found

when on_match returns True and stop_on_first_match is False.

  * **predicate** – a function that takes a child Object3D and returns
  * **criteria** (*True if it matches the search*)

#### remove_by_uuid(target_uuid: str) → None

Remove the object with the given UUID from the scene graph recursively.

This method searches recursively through the entire scene graph starting

  * **ValueError** – if attempting to remove this object itself by UUID
  * **ValueError** – if no object with the given UUID is found

#### *property* rotation

#### *property* scale

The scale of the object in object space.

#### set_default_material(material: [MeshMaterial](fiftyone.core.threed.material_3d.md#fiftyone.core.threed.material_3d.MeshMaterial))

Sets the material of the mesh.

* **Parameters:**
  **material** ([*MeshMaterial*](fiftyone.core.threed.material_3d.md#fiftyone.core.threed.material_3d.MeshMaterial)) – the material to set as the default

#### traverse(include_self=True)

Traverse the scene graph.

#### *property* uuid
