ReferenceIntersector.FindNearest

Method

Description:
Projects a ray from the origin along the given direction, and returns the nearest reference from intersected elements which match the ReferenceIntersector's criteria.

Remarks:
Note that FindNearest() is a convenience method, and other references that may be nearly the same distance from the origin can be obtained from Find(XYZ, XYZ).

	XYZ origin,
	XYZ direction
)
