Hi Sean,

Thanks for your suggestions. Actually what I'm doing is shooting a ray using my curve-surface intersection routines. It's quite easy with the CSI set up. As rt_brep_shot() is in librt and the evaluations happen in libbrep, I doubt using rt_brep_shot() will introduce more complexities.


But it's still useful to look into rt_brep_shot() and see whether it's a good idea to reuse it.


Cheers!
