Help labeling a 3d object

Questions & Answers
1

I recently took over a project and need help labeling the parts of a 3d model of a heart.

Goal:The labels need to pop up when the corresponding part of the heart is clicked and turn off when I click off the heart or another part is clicked.

Currently:

The person before me made box colliders attached to the heart that when clicked make the label appear. (There are a multiple for every section of heart.

He used title bars for the text of the labels

The labels are called upon once clicked

The animator has 2 functions for this project, one helps the heart to beat and the other uses a mask to make the labels come up nicely.

Problem UPDATE The other problems have been resolved. The only problem right now is once a label is clicked and you click another part and then turn off the second one the first one is still on.

Ex. 1. Click aorta → aorta label pops up-> 2. click left atrium → left atrium label pops up (can’t see the aorta label anymore) → 3. click left atrium again to turn off labels → left atrium turns off but aorta label shows still

UPDATE After completing the last step in the above example the label (canvas & text boxes) are still there they are just now blank.

I can think of 2 ways to solve this problem.(I just don’t know how to do them)

Make it so that the space bar or middle mouse button turn off all of the labels

or

Is it possible to make another canvas that is blank that it changes to? and is it possible to swap between the blank and labeled one?

The current label manager script:

   public class ToggleLabel : MonoBehaviour {

	public string title = "Update this name";
	public string text = "Update this descriptive text";
	public bool isClicked = false;

	Animator anim;
	public GameObject titleText; //assign by dragging in editor
	public GameObject copyText; //assign by dragging in editor
	public GameObject NoLabel;
	void Awake()
	{
		anim = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Canvas").GetComponentInChildren<Animator> ();
		//copyOptions = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Canvas").GetComponentsInChildren<Text>();
	}
	
	void OnMouseUp()
	{
		if(!isClicked)
		{
			isClicked = true;
			titleText.GetComponent<Text>().text = title;
			copyText.GetComponent<Text>().text = text;
			anim.SetTrigger ("DrawLabel");
		}
		else
		{
			titleText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "";
			copyText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "";
			anim.SetTrigger ("RemoveLabel");
			isClicked = false;
		}
	}


}

Im not sure what the animator is doing, but I would do this for a simple case. Assuming there is only one text object for title, and one for description in the scene:

         Animator anim;
         public GameObject titleText; //assign by dragging in editor
         public GameObject copyText; //assign by dragging in editor
         //Text[] copyOptions;
     
         void Awake()
         {
             anim = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Canvas").GetComponentInChildren<Animator> ();
             //copyOptions = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Canvas").GetComponentsInChildren<Text>();
         }
     
         void OnMouseUp()
         {
             if(!isClicked)
             {
                 isClicked = true;
                 //titleText = copyOptions [0];
                 //copyText = copyOptions [1];
                 titleText.GetComponent<Text>().text = title;
                 copyText.GetComponent<Text>().text = text;
                 anim.SetTrigger ("DrawLabel");
             }
             else
             {
                 titleText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "";
                 copyText.GetComponent<Text>().text = "";
                 anim.SetTrigger ("RemoveLabel");
                 isClicked = false;
             }
         }
