I realize the code snippet can be better formatted, so here's a better way to look at it struct GearRealityView: View { static var modelEntity = Entity() var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let model = try? await Entity(named: "LandingGear", in: realityKitContentBundle) { GearRealityView.modelEntity = model content.add(model) } } .gesture( DragGesture() .targetedToEntity(GearRealityView.modelEntity) .onChanged({ value in GearRealityView.modelEntity.position = value.convert(value.location3D, from: .local, to: GearRealityView.modelEntity.parent!) }) ) } }
