World Space Button and Text with UI Elements

Yes. However, when I tried to do this it didn’t work. The UI objects are detected by the Event System, and are un-responsive. This is even with the active input system setting set to “Both”.

Unity is pushing towards UI Elements to take over for UI. Due to this I found it prudent to use UI Toolkit in my project. I really don’t feel like re-building my entire UI around the original system, when Unity could deprecate it at some point.

I was hoping for a simple solution to blend the two systems properly. But if this doesn’t exist, I will just have to build a custom system to display the elements in world space as is necessary.

Did you find a solution to this? We are using UI Toolkit to display our editor and have a render texture displaying our 3D scene. We have World Space canvases inside the Render Texture and like you can get the Event System to racyast the target UGUI Button but it doesn’t seem to be reacting to events (mouse over, mouse press etc). Any luck on your end?
