Hi. How would I apply a border to the window when I have a P3D environment?

What I mean is that I want the object that is floating below my ship model to instead be locked to the edges of the screen.as a border.

I’m using PeasyCam as an easy way to move a camera around the environment, so setting the picture to the correct position and keeping it there isn’t an option.

If what you want to do is draw this as an image like a GUI, I made a topic a while ago about making a GUI in a 3D sketch, which is like having a 2D canvas in front of the camera:

> I’m making a 3D game, and a problem I ran into was drawing a 2D GUI over top of the main 3D sketch. The solution I found is pretty simple, but it works really well: //IMPORTANT: make sure to use textMode(SHAPE) before using this!! Otherwise text will be drawn as black boxes. //GUI hint(DISABLE\_DEPTH\_TEST); //draws on top of whatever is drawn on screen camera(); //reset camera to default position, which conveniently lines up with the screen exactly ortho(); //orthographic projection r…

It’s relatively simple to implement, but I’m not sure how it plays with peasycam.

EDIT: A comment on the linked topic shows you how to draw a GUI using peasycam
