Description

Select Disable the depth test when clamped to ground in http://localhost:8080/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=Billboards.html&label=All and you'll be looking at the size of a mountain. You need to move the camera to see the billboard.

This is using the viewer.zoomTo, so maybe we introduced a bug when clamping to ground?
