Measure Between to find minimum distance between 2 surfaces in a plane
Measure Between to find minimum distance between 2 surfaces in a plane
(OP)
I am trying to measure the minimum distance between two surfaces, but I only want the minimum distance within the y-z plane; I don't want the x-direction to be taken into account when calculating minimum distance. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Run the measure command, then pick both surfaces in tree.
After that, click on costumize
Then pick on components to be seen in panel and in 3D

Intersect each surface with the plane, then Measure Between the two curves of intersections.

Thanks for your response. I have tried your method already, but when it finds the minimum distance, it is locating the points on the surface where there is the minimum distance in all axis. I wanted to calculated the minimum distance when in only the y-z plane, so essentially if the 'x component'=0. Is there a way to set this?
Thanks!

Draw the axis with the specific orientation and then on the measure box, select the specific axis.
If this is not what you need post a image of what you need
