Need some help with coding a no-flight zone

[lulu01]

Hi,

So I came across a problem, I like to create a flight route for a plane, but I don't want the plane to crash into an object.

I managed to create a curve (flight route) that can avoid a point, so the curve goes around the point...GREAT!!! (Check Screenshot 1)

But if I want to avoid a large area, lets call it a "no-flight zone", the code has some sort of scaling limitation.  (Check Screenshot 2)

I've checked the code several times, but I can't find the solution, can somebody help me out?

you could just use the ray SOP with 'direction' set to 'Vector', e.g. {1,0,0}
