Distance (Plane)
Menu Path : Operator > Math > Geometry > Distance (Plane)
The Distance (Plane) Operator Operator takes a plane and a position and calculates:
- The closest point on the plane to the position.
- The distance between the closest point and the position.
Operator properties
| Input | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Plane | Plane | The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (closestPosition) is the closest point on this Plane to Position. |
| Position | Position | The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (closestPosition) is the closest point to Plane from this position. |
| Output | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| closestPosition | Position | The position of the closest point on Plane to Position. |
| distance | float | The distance from Position to closestPosition. If Position is above Plane, this value is positive. If Position is below Plane, this value is negative. |
