Hi,

I have 2 models on the scene, one is near and one is far from the camera, the `nearModel` is occluding part of the `farModel`. I also have a `markupsPointList`. I want my markup points to _“not see”_ the `nearModel` while I move a point over the `nearModel` (and the `farModel`) so the point ends up exactly over the `farModel`, is there a way to achieve that? Another solution, although less preferable, would be if I could make my markup points always snap to the `farModel`, would that be possible?

Thank you
