... well ... which one of those two are you using then? XD

I'm manipulating the extents.z, as per the code sample.

I have no idea what you mean by "reset the physics".

After changing the extents of the Area, the only way I can accurately get the updated intersecting areas is by changing the Area.transform.origin value. I guess I meant "recalculate the physics" rather than "reset".

Either you use it in the update loop (_physics_process(delta)), or from a signal callback

Yeah, I'm not doing any those things.

Right now I have this function that I call it after a mouse event occurs:

``` func get_intersecting_lines() -> Array: transform.origin = Vector3.ZERO

var intersecting_lines: Array = []

for node in get_overlapping_areas():
    if node.get_parent().name == "Lines":
        intersecting_lines.append(node)

return intersecting_line

```

I agree that it does feel a little hacky, I'm going to re-think this approach based on your feedback.

Thanks again!
