solved How do I get ActionManager. OnPickDownTrigger to ignore blocking meshes?

I'm building a custom rotation / scale gizmo. It draws in its own renderingGroup so it's always visible no matter what geometry might be in front of it (thanks @deltakosh). 

Now I've added rollover highlighting to the gizmo using the ActionManager.OnPointerOverTrigger and OnPointerOutTrigger. This is also working fine: no matter what geometry is between the camera and the gizmo, the gizmo highlights on rollover.

But when I add an ActionManager.OnPickDownTrigger, the trigger is only triggered when there is nothing between the camera and the gizmo. This causes a bad experience for the user because it looks from the highlighting that their click will select the gizmo, but it actually doesn't because the gizmo is blocked.

Is there a way for the OnPickDownTrigger to ignore the blocking geometry the same way the OnPointerOverTrigger does?

Hiya F!  Will your project allow you to set allOtherMesh.isPickable = false;  ?

Perhaps re-activate all picking when gizmo is closed.  Maybe.

That worked perfectly, thanks.
