 	</brief_description>
 	<description>
+		A RayCast represents a line from its origin to its destination position [code]cast_to[/code], it is used to query the 3D space in order to find the closest object intersecting with the ray.
+
+		RayCast can ignore some objects by adding them to the exception list via [code]add_exception[/code], setting proper filtering with layers, or by filtering object types with type masks.
+
+		Only enabled raycasts will be able to query the space and report collisions!
