Syntax
The ReferenceWithContext type exposes the following members.

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | IsValidObject | Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. |
![]() | Proximity | The proximity value to the ray's origin when the reference is returned by FindReferencesWithContextByDirection(XYZ, XYZ, View3D) or ReferenceIntersector.Find(XYZ, XYZ). |

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Dispose | Releases all resources used by the ReferenceWithContext |
![]() | Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | GetInstanceTransform | Gets the transform of the instance. |
![]() | GetReference | Gets the reference of the geometric object. |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |

The ReferenceWithContext is used as the returned value from the method [!:Autodesk::Revit::DB::Document::FindReferencesWithContextByDirection],
ReferenceIntersector.Find(XYZ, XYZ), or ReferenceIntersector.FindNearest(XYZ, XYZ).
It includes a reference intersecting a line extended in a certain direction from an origin point and the context of the geometric object, as
the transform and proximity.
