Hi all!  
Can’t figure this out: is i possible to use hider plane to hide specific objects, despite all 3d AR content.  
For example I have a 3d asset on top of Gaussian Splat. I tried to make hider wall on 3d asset to see Gaussian splat model behind it (make 3d model invisible on specific angles), but whatever chid/parent i use, i always see through both 3d asset AND Gaussian Splat model

Have you taken a look at our [sample project](https://www.8thwall.com/8thwall/splats) that uses both 3D models and Splats? Maybe you could share a screenshot?

Hello, George!  
Yes, I am very familiar with that portal object here is something different.  
Here are the screenshots:

Above is screenshot with only Gaus

Here is screenshot Gaus + 3d model on top

Here is Gaus + 3d model + Hider on top  
So I want Hider to see through 3d model like sort of X-Ray to see underlying Gaus. But no matter the ierarchy of objects hider always X-rays through 3d AND GAUS

Ah, I see. Yeah there’s no way to easily hide only 3D models and not the Splat. You could do something creative with three.js using a custom component like a Stencil but not sure how well that would work with the Splat Renderer. [three.js examples](https://threejs.org/examples/?q=stencil#webgl_clipping_stencil)
