Parameters

WorldX

x coordinate of ray start point

WorldY

y coordinate of ray start point

WorldZ

z coordinate of ray start point

RayVecX

x coordinate of ray direction vector

RayVecY

y coordinate of ray direction vector

RayVecZ

z coordinate of ray direction vector

RayRadius

Radius

TypeWanted

Type of entities to select as defined in swSelectType_e

Append

If...	And if entity is...	Then...
True	Not already selected	Entity is appended to the current selection list
	Already selected	Entity is removed from the current selection list
False	Not already selected	Current selection is cleared and then the entity is put on the list
	Already selected	Current selection list remains the same

Mark

Value to use as a mark; this value is used by other functions that require ordered selection

Option

Selection option as defined in swSelectOption_e (see Remarks)

Return Value

This method:

• Defines a cylindrical region of infinite length that starts at the specified point and runs parallel to the specified direction vector within the specified radius.

• Only selects these entities: faces, edges, and vertices.

• Does not support the selection of silhouette edges, sketch entities, axes, center marks, center lines, section lines, etc.

Only a single entity is selected within the radius regardless if multiple entities existing within that radius. If selecting faces, then the RayRadius parameter is ignored and a cylinder of an infinitely small radius is used.

Use model space view to determine the selection vector in a drawing.

For the Option parameter, specify swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionDefault to indicate that the Shift key is not used during selection or swSelectOption_e.swSelectOptionExtensive to indicate that the Shift key is used during selection.

NOTES:

• This method is recorded when IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 relies on the selection coordinates and prone to failure if the model view is altered.
• The difference between this method and the now obsolete IModelDoc2::SelectByRay method is that if you call IModelDocExtension::SelectByRay in a macro or application to select an entity by an intersecting ray and then rerun that macro or application, the original entity is successfully selected regardless of the viewing transform.
