• Visual Studio How to define a password field for the input parameter

  I want to know how I can create a password field where MSBuild will prompt the user to enter the password rather than hardcoding within the MSBuild script file.

  I am testing for intersections from a point into a mesh at a specified direction, but it only returns hits usually if they are less than 100.
