Hello, I’ve created playground for my issue: [https://playground.babylonjs.com/#T2DGCK#1](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#T2DGCK#1)

What I’m trying to achieve is to make parts of boxes that are occluded not pickable and occluder should not be pickable either. So basically in `scene.onPointerObservable.add()` callback function `pointerInfo.pickInfo.pickedMesh` should be undefined when I hover over occluded parts.

You would need to keep the occluder pickable and exclude them manually either through the scene.pointerMovePredicate or in your onPointerObservable.
