How to project a point onto the closest surface? (script)

Hi everyone,

does anyone know a method to project a point onto the nearest surface using a script? thanks

  • That sounds like it would be very difficult to control via scripting. You'd have to find a way to define a surface. CAD models have so many different CAD elements and geometry it would be tricky.

    Or maybe you could define a min and max distance the surface can be. Then project a point within that Min/Max range you set on a surface.

    These are just ideas, and I do not know off hand how to go about doing this. Personally it sounds a lot easier to just use PC-DMIS's interface for this type of thing.
