```javascript
const post=new THREE.Vector3(-Math.PI/2,0,0);
const post2=new THREE.Vector3(dolly.position.x,dolly.position.y,dolly.position.z);
post.normalize();
raycaster.set(post2,post)
const temp=raycaster.intersectObjects(scene.children)

```

temp never contains any objects even when dolly is directly above the objects.

Can you share your complete code? As a working example on codesandbox/codepen if possible.

That takes me to the three.js editor. How do I see the actual code?
