Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 22.0.0.0 (22.1.0.0)
Since: 2013

Syntax

C# 
public ReferenceWithContext FindNearest(
	XYZ origin,
	XYZ direction
)
Visual Basic 
Public Function FindNearest ( _
	origin As XYZ, _
	direction As XYZ _
) As ReferenceWithContext
Visual C++ 
public:
ReferenceWithContext^ FindNearest(
	XYZ^ origin, 
	XYZ^ direction
)

Parameters

origin
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The origin of the ray.
direction
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB XYZ
The direction of the ray.

Return Value

The intersected reference nearest to the ray origin, a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic) if none is found

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) .
