Just like the live example of the [SphereWidget](https://kitware.github.io/vtk-js/examples/SphereWidget.html) provided by the official site, once the widget enters the interior of the cube actor, it can no longer be interacted with. Is there any setting that allows the widget to always be interactable, even when it is obscured?

Hello,  
You can make the actor of the cube unpickable:

```js
actor.setPickable(false);

```
