distance between point and surface
distance between point and surface
(OP)
hi
I'm trying to calculate the minimal distance between point and surface in the case of that its not possible to do an orthogonal projection of the point on the surface.
is there anyone who can help me?
thanks

of course thats true, but the problem is how to automate this steps!! have you an idea about that?

Or is it some calculation being done in a program ? The question is too vague at the moment to do much with. Maybe the surface exists as an equation ; Z = f(X,Y) or whatever, or is it in a CATIA model. We don't know yet, more background information required.
