There's no supported way for you to access the entity from a Model3D
with the APIs currently available. If you'd like us to consider adding the necessary functionality,
please file an enhancement request using Feedback Assistant.
Once you file the request, please post the FB number here.
If you're not familiar with how to file enhancement requests, take a look at
Bug Reporting: How and Why?.
That said and as you alluded to, you can use a RealityView with a ModelEntity, but you will lose some of the functionality of Model3D. For example you can't use ResolvedModel3D
resizable(_:), but you can achieve a similar effect using a RealityView
and GeometryReader3D. If you have a specific use case and can't find a way to achieve it, create a new post with the question, reply with the link and I'll help you.
