Creation method

There are two options for creating a Plane Closest Point node.

  • The first way to create a Plane Closest Point node using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • pln , org , clp
  • The second way is to select a Plane Closest Point node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Plane Closest Point

Steps

  • Create a Plane Closest Point node.
  • Connect the sample point to the first port.
  • Connect the projection plane to the second port.

After creating a node, connect the sample point to the first port, and the projection plane to the second port. On the output ports, you will get the plane's closest point, {uv} coordinates of a projected point, and the distance between the point and plane.
