	<brief_description>
		A 3D shape that sweeps a region of space to detect [CollisionObject3D]s.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Shape casting allows to detect collision objects by sweeping its [member shape] along the cast direction determined by [member target_position]. This is similar to [RayCast3D], but it allows for sweeping a region of space, rather than just a straight line. [ShapeCast3D] can detect multiple collision objects. It is useful for things like wide laser beams or snapping a simple shape to a floor.
		Immediate collision overlaps can be done with the [member target_position] set to [code]Vector3(0, 0, 0)[/code] and by calling [method force_shapecast_update] within the same physics frame. This helps to overcome some limitations of [Area3D] when used as an instantaneous detection area, as collision information isn't immediately available to it.
		[b]Note:[/b] Shape casting is more computationally expensive than ray casting.

		<method name="add_exception">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="node" type="CollisionObject3D" />
			<description>
				Adds a collision exception so the shape does not report collisions with the specified [CollisionObject3D] node.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="add_exception_rid">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="rid" type="RID" />

			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="force_shapecast_update">
			<return type="void" />
			<description>
				Updates the collision information for the shape immediately, without waiting for the next [code]_physics_process[/code] call. Use this method, for example, when the shape or its parent has changed state.
				[b]Note:[/b] [code]enabled == true[/code] is not required for this to work.
