Hide points behind a 3D model

For pro editors Updated 28 September 2026

Where

Map then 3D Settings

Pro editors can hide markers and labels that are obscured by model geometry in the public viewer.

Steps

  1. Select the GLB background and open 3D Settings.
  2. Enable Hide points behind model. The default is off.
  3. Preview the model from several angles, including points with leader lines.
  4. Publish changes when the visibility behaviour is suitable.

Expected result

The public viewer hides a complete marker or label and its leader when its endpoint is behind geometry. Editor points remain visible for editing.

Tips and limits

The test is geometry-based, not pixel-perfect transparency. Complex models can affect performance. A leader endpoint can be visible even if its surface anchor is obscured; test the intended views. This does not add GLB polygon drawing.

Effect on the published viewer

The saved visibility option requires Publish.
