How to get the text with raycaster by clicking free spots on text

Capture

Hello people, I need to get the text by clicking on the text free spots, currently I can get the text on my scene but directly clicking on the text is there any wrapper for the text so I can detect the text by clicking on its free spots.

P.S. Thank You.

You mean that you do raycasting on this 3D text, and you want to raycast on a larger area than the text ? A simple way to do this is to add a box mesh with the size you want to the group containing the text, you set its visibility to false, and you raycast with this instead of the text.

Or use an invisible plane mesh, if you’ve got flat text shapes.

I was thinking about that options but I thought maybe there are other ways that I don’t know :slight_smile:

Thank you Very Much

But what about Three.js Box3 it can’t be useful here (I did some research) ?

Box3 is a mathematical object, which can indeed be useful here. You get a Box3 when you call geometry.computeBoundingBox(). I guess you can add a new BoxBufferGeometry with dimensions and offset matching the bounding box of the text geometry (if single), and make an invisible mesh of it, with a transform matching that of the text?
