• Blender reference

• api reference

• geonodes name: Raycast

• bl_idname: GeometryNodeRaycast

from geonodes import nodes

node = nodes.Raycast(target_geometry=None, attribute=None, source_position=None, ray_direction=None, ray_length=None, data_type='FLOAT', mapping='INTERPOLATED')

Args:

Input socket arguments:

• target_geometry: Geometry

• attribute: data_type dependant

• source_position: Vector

• ray_direction: Vector

• ray_length: Float

Node parameter arguments:

• data_type (str): default = ‘FLOAT’ in (‘FLOAT’, ‘INT’, ‘FLOAT_VECTOR’, ‘FLOAT_COLOR’, ‘BOOLEAN’)

• mapping (str): default = ‘INTERPOLATED’ in (‘INTERPOLATED’, ‘NEAREST’)

Output sockets:

• is_hit : Boolean

• hit_position : Vector

• hit_normal : Vector

• hit_distance : Float

• attribute : data_type dependant

Shared sockets:

• Driving parameter : data_type in (‘FLOAT’, ‘INT’, ‘FLOAT_VECTOR’, ‘FLOAT_COLOR’, ‘BOOLEAN’)

• Input sockets : [‘attribute’]

• Output sockets : [‘attribute’]
