Is is possible to get/set userData of a single object within InstancedMesh?

I’m looking to use raycaster to select the object and get the userData of that object.

@Konrad_Psiuk –

The raycaster’s intersection data contains `instanceId`. You can use the original `userData` as an array of individual userData-s of instances. When you get the `instanceId`, you just get the instance’s data from `userData[instandeId]`. Hopefully.
