Get the point on the Dome when the mouse is clicked.

I’m going to implement placing a label when the mouse clicked.

Think ray casting might be good for this? Mesh Picking | Babylon.js Documentation

Cannot pick The dome.

I think that might be because the domes are infinite distance.

Make a secondary blackfacing sphere that is not infinite distance and pick on that.

You will just have to mask it from the rendering camera, that should get you a vector you can use. As long as your camera is always at origin there should be no other concerns.

Not necessary, there is size option

Here is the example (see console messages) for the right mouse click - https://playground.babylonjs.com/#14KRGG#486
