Dimension for rays on (bounceFromSurface)

Hi,

Is it possible to get a dimension line on how far do sun-rays bounce from a surface into an interior space?

Please take a look at the image attached.

Thank you!

Use Discontinuity and item selector components to find the points from the rays [it will be 3 points]. Then find the distance between those points to point A. Sort the distances, the longest distance is the last item in the list.

Thank you I was able to display the points. However, I lose the last point I looked for under (Honeybee_Item_Selector) when I change the date/time/month under SunPath and the rays move. Is there a way were I can set the item selector component to automatically select the last point the rays form whenever the rays move?

You can look for item -1.
