Mouse clicking and meshes getting in the way!

Is there any way I can ‘hide’ objects from the mouse sensor? I’ve never scripted in python so was hoping there was something I could turn on/off in one of the blender panels to achieve this.

I have some arrow buttons in front of my camera that I use to navigate around my scene but when I get close to a mesh, it keeps preventing my buttons detecting mouse activity. I don’t need to interact with the scene in any way, just move my camera around it.

thank you!

You could set collison off in the face select mode for the mesh. But then you can’t click it.

Or have your arrows in an overlay scene. They will be always in front of the main scene.

In the end it was the camera’s clipping which threw me. I was zooming in by scaling an empty (the parent of my camera and buttons) at the centre of my scene and so my buttons and camera were getting really small but the clipping distance was effectively growing.

Sorted now. Thanks for the suggestions though.
