Public Shared Function LineSphere ( 
	line As Line,
	sphere As Sphere,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef intersectionPoint1 As Point3d,
	<OutAttribute> ByRef intersectionPoint2 As Point3d
) As LineSphereIntersection

line

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Line
Line for intersection.

sphere

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Sphere
Sphere for intersection.

intersectionPoint1

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Point3d
First intersection point.

intersectionPoint2

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Point3d
Second intersection point.

Type: LineSphereIntersection
If None is returned, the first point is the point on the line closest to the sphere and the second point is the point on the sphere closest to the line. If Single is returned, the first point is the point on the line and the second point is the same point on the sphere.
