<node3d>.intersect

Perform an intersection on the current node and the line.

)

lineBegin

[x,y,z] position of begin point of intersection line.

lineEnd

[x,y,z] position of end point of intersection line.

all = False

If True, causes intersect to return a list of intersect objects for all intersections, not just the first.

mode = viz.REL_PARENT

Reference frame to perform the intersection test in. Can be one of the following values:

Mode
viz.ABS_PARENT viz.REL_PARENT	Perform the intersection in the parents coordinate system.
viz.ABS_GLOBAL viz.REL_GLOBAL	Perform the intersection in the global coordinate system.
viz.ABS_LOCAL viz.REL_LOCAL	Perform the intersection in the node local coordinate system.

ignoreBackFace = False

If True, back facing polygons will be ignored during the intersection test.

Remarks

This command checks if the specified line intersects with the node. It will return a viz.Intersect object containing info about the intersection results.

Return Value

The return value is a viz.Intersect object or a list of viz.Intersect objects if parameter all is true.

The following is a list of fields of the viz.Intersect object:

Attribute
valid	True if the line intersected, False if it didn't.
point	The point the line intersected with the object.
normal	The normal vector of the intersect point.
object	The geometry object the line intersected with.
name	The name of the subobject that the line intersected with.

Example

Sets the box blue.
