Geometry Closest Point

Creation method#

There are two options for creating the Geometry Closest Point node.#

• The first way to create the Geometry Closest Point node is 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.
  • closestPoint, curveClosestPnt, surfaceClosestPnt, solidClosestPnt
• The second way is to select the Geometry Closest Point node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Vector > Geometry Closest Point

Steps#

• Create the Geometry Closest Point node.
• Connect the geometry on which we want to find the closest point to the first port.
• Connect the point from which you want to find the closest point on geometry to the second port.

The node finds and returns the closest point on geometry to the first port and the second returns a distance between these two points.
