Methods:

`__init__`(point, view3D)	Inits a raytracer instance.
`findIntersection`(direction[, elementFilter])	Finds and returns an intersection point of a ray in a given direction based on an optional element filter.

__init__(point, view3D)[source]¶

Inits a raytracer instance.

Parameters

point (object) – A Revit XYZ object used as the base point for the raytracing.
view3D (object) – A Revit 3D view.

findIntersection(direction, elementFilter=None)[source]¶

Parameters

direction (object) – A Revit XYZ vector.
elementFilter (mixed, optional) – Either a list of Revit element IDs or a Revit ElementClassFilter. Defaults to None.
