No Need to become complex here, I suggest the following: 1) Create one sphere which is outside of the switch node and at the same position as the sphere inside the switch node (the one you want to turn on/off) 2) Apply a completely transparent material (alpha value) to the sphere outside the switch. So its invisible to the eye (but not to the intersection visitor). 3) Whenever you hit the invisible sphere, turn the switch to true and make the sphere inside the switch visible.

Hi Robert. What I mean is: I have a scene made of 3 spheres, each attached under a different switch node. The first two spheres are visible (their switches are turned on), while the third is not (so its switch is turned off). I would like to select also the third sphere (imagine for example that I want the third sphere to be visible only when the mouse is over it), even when it is invisible.

Hi Gianluca, What do you mean by "select" and object? What type of object? Robert.
