Picking meshes when one mesh is above another

Questions
1

Hi all,

I have multiple (two for now :smiley: ) meshes above each other with diferent zOffset, they all have isPickable=true, when I check pickInfo.pickedMesh it does not pick closest mesh.

How to control wich mesh will be picked?

Thnx

Make sure that the fastCheck parameter is not set to true, else it will take the first intersection found, and not the closest.

Where can I change fastCheck parameter?

For instance: Babylon.js docs

Just an FYI because I found this confusing when I was new to Babylon. “first intersection found” refers to the loop of the raycast. If meshes[0] intersects, the raycast returns that intersection - even if meshes[1] is closer to the ray origin.

So fastCheck is useful when you want to know “does ray hit anything?”. But if you need intersection details, fastCheck is bad.
