The picking exclusion is a mechanism that enables you to selectively exclude one or more mesh nodes from the selection.
It's possible to disable picking for all the geometrical elements inside a scene, independently from the content format type, with the sole exception of detached geometries inside a MwxSoup model.
Picking exclusion is available in the Graphic Context Editor and is intended for development purposes. Excluding an element from picking does not prevent it from being selected when the XR application is deployed.
Persistence for picking exclusion
The picking exclusion configuration that is set in XR Studio is bound to the graphic_context.xml file and persistent over sessions. so it is expected to find all the picking exclusions configured still in place after saving a project, closing XR Studio, and opening the same project again.
Modifying the picking exclusion in any way sets the opened graphic context to the Modified state (recognizable by the asterisk (*) on the right side of the file name).
The state of the picking exclusion persists contextually when the graphic_context.xml file saves.
