Hi I’m having trouble understanding this.

I have a box(#1) with low opacity and a box(#2) inside it that has medium opacity and a last box(#3) inside box#2 with high opacity. I wanted to see all the three meshes inside each other from the outside. When it loads I see box#1 and box#2 inside box#1. How can I see all three boxes?

Another question, when the camera is below box#2 it disappears! Why is that?

Thank you!

Nate

Does it work as intended if all three boxes have:

```javascript
depthWrite={false}

```
