Does Pick Work?

I'd like to use the 'pick' functions which I think are only in AVS 4. 
Since we only have AVS 3 here, I'd like to ask a couple of questions
before I spring for AVS 4.

1. Does it really work robustly?
2. I want to put a bunch of polygons and triangle strips in the geometry, then
pick a point on one of these, and get back an ID for the entity
and the 3D coordinates on the polygon/strip where I picked. Can I do this?

Thank you
