Hello,

I would like to delete several meshes according to a given radius.

For the moment in this PG, we can paint several mesh and with CTRL this removes a single mesh. The function is line 159.

Does anyone know how to do it please.

Hey  
you can use `mesh.getBoundingInfo().intersects()`

This function accept anopther boundingInfo that you can create from two vectors (that defines a box): [BoundingInfo - Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/api/classes/babylon.boundinginfo#constructor)
