Like is there a way or function to check a specific coordinate if it has a mesh?

@labris Sorry I didnt mean any specific mesh  
I meant to check if **any** mesh is in that position  
This is what I reached so far but idk how to make it so it checks for any mesh:

```auto
function checkForMesh(position) {
  let found = false
  const point = BABYLON.Vector3(position.x, position.y, position.z)
  const sphere = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateSphere(`meshCheck_${position.x}${position.y}${position.z}`, { segments: 1, diameter: 0.1, }, scene);

  // code here to check if the point is inside any mesh, if found a mesh in that position set 'found' to true
  
  return found;
};

```

I think you want to use?

```auto
found = sphere.intersectsPoint(point) // or loop through all scene.meshes?

```

Thanks  
Earlier I was trying to make a sphere, put it in that position, and loop through all meshes and see if it intersects any mesh, but for some reason that wasnt working

This one worked tho, again thanks
