Hi,  
This is a learning project. A model will be loaded and the user can view the models with interactive controls. If an user wants to do any markings or create a note on any specific parts of the model, they needs to be able to do that. How to made this feature in Babylonjs. So the user needs to be able to draw over the scene and we needs to make it as texture or an annotation. Kindly help me on this.

Hello!

There can be multiple ways of achieving this effect. You could use [Dynamic Textures | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/materials/using/dynamicTexture), [Decals | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/mesh/decals), [The Babylon GUI | Babylon.js Documentation (babylonjs.com)](https://doc.babylonjs.com/features/featuresDeepDive/gui/gui), combine them in many ways 🙂
