Hi to all,

I need to extract the contact point between a sphere and a plane. I don´t know what command use for that.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Try to project the sphere center point orthogonally (perpendicular, along the normal vector) onto the plane. This point will be the contact point that you needed.
