LinePick is driving me to drink. :) I understand that I give it a starting location and then give it the direction ... I assume this is a directional vector. Does it need to be normalized? Do I tell it exactly how far to check along each axis?

Is there a reason it wasn't just coded simply with a start and end location?

At any rate, no matter what I try, I always seem to get a result of zero. Is there set up work that needs to be done before LinePick will function?
