Moving mesh up but the ray caster detects it like its mirrored on the Y-axis

Question

It looks like the raycaster is detecting all my objects but flipped. When I add a cube and I don't change the position it works fine but when I move the cube up the ray-casting goes down. Does anyone know how to fix it.

For now the ray-casting is a console.log on move over. I first thought it was a problem with blender but now i tested it with a normal cube it gets flipped aswel.

I believe that you need to invert how you set clickMouse.y . So instead of:

clickMouse.y = (e.clientY / window.innerHeight) * 2 - 1;

you should have

clickMouse.y = - (e.clientY / window.innerHeight) * 2 + 1;
