Hi there.

I am trying to drag the objects using Boundingbox gizmo in an orthographic camera. However, it is not working.

The PG is here: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EBPQH9#121](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EBPQH9#121)

Could someone find a solution for this?

BoundingBoxGizmo doesn’t drag, you need positionGizmo [Orthographic camera with bounding box | Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#EBPQH9#122)

In my project, I had to deactivate the positionGizmo because the user needs to drag the object freely in all directions. Isn’t there a way to use the bounding box with this camera? Maybe just turning off some camera inputs while dragging the object  
I tried using this but it didn’t work

```auto
gizmoManager.onAttachedToMeshObservable.add(() => {
    gizmoManager.boundingBoxDragBehavior.onDragEndObservable.add(() => { camera.inputs.add(camera.inputs.attached.mouse); });
    gizmoManager.boundingBoxDragBehavior.onDragStartObservable.add(() => { camera.inputs.remove(camera.inputs.attached.mouse); });
                        });

```
