Dear CGAL community,

First of all my best wishes for 2018
to the CGAL team and community!

Question 1:
In the AABB tree package there is plenty
of support for (closest) ray-triangle intersections which (very precisely)
return a point or a line segment. It could be, however, somewhat more convenient
for my code to work directly with the ray's intersection distance parameter
(t). In the documentation I've found a AABBRayIntersectionTraits Concept
that describes this. Is it meant to be used directly and if so, is there
also a model/example that shows how to?

Question 2:
I'm also interested in the texture coordinates
(often denoted with (t,u,v)) of the intersection of a ray with a triangle.
Would this be possible to obtain them directly or is it better to back-project
the point of intersection on the triangle?

Best regards,

Maarten
