mapScreenToWorldRay in pymxs

[Julian.Millan]

Hi!

Making advances in using pymxs. There is one thing that the new documentation doesnt directly cover and I havent found an equivalent of which is mapScreenToWorldRay

I getting a point in the viewport using pymxs.runtime.mouse.screepos, the idea is to get the World position to use that ray to intersect with an object in scene (ultimately to place a new object onto the first one), but I dont see the direct equivalent to mapScreenToWorldRay

I looked for it in pymxs.runtime.viewport and it is not there, even tho it is classified as a Viewport option in the regular maxscript documentation.

Could you give a hint of how to use it in pymxs?

Thanks!

The command appears as pymxs.runtime.mapScreenToWorldRay as I would expect, but then the problem was different: it was not showing in my autocomplete when I was writing. Had to restart 3ds to see it in autocomplete. I dont know if this is something that might happen but it is weird.
