Hi @Snekmel and welcome to the forum
In order to spawn a mesh in the scene at a 3D position, you first have to convert the 2D coordinates (scene.pointer) to 3D. This can be done with a raycast where the ray hits a plane and the hit point becomes the spawning position.
If you don’t have a plane to do the raycasting, you can call
var pickResult = scene.pick(scene.pointerX, scene.pointerY);
and the ray corresponding to the mouse pointer is:
pickResult.ray.origin
pickResult.ray.direction
then you have to choose an arbitrary distance between the origin and your destination so you can compute a 3D position:
position = pickResult.ray.origin + pickResult.ray.direction * distance
