Hi everyone,

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

  • you can change your search distance parameter (CHECK), but yeah i wouldn't have the slightest idea how one would extract cad coords and vectors into a script format in any useable manner.  I mean you'd have a ton of noise: chamfers, blend radii... Plus, when you import cad, how often are the native corrds representative of how the part will sit on the machine?
