cast_ray and cast_hull are console commands available in all 
Source games. Casts a ray or hull and shows what it hit in console. Ray is visualized as green line up to the surface it hit where the normal is shown as yellow line. Hull is visualized in blue and also shows the normal as yellow line. Overlays last 10 seconds before disappearing.
Warning:Make sure your game is not paused when issuing these commands or the overlay for it won't show up. (type unpause in console before writing the command or bind it to a button bind e cast_ray)Information it gives
