NearestPointOnLine3D - 101
This tool finds the point on a 3D line closest to a 3D point, with optional visualization.



Setup

3D coordinate system (for visualization)
  • Reference - select a 3D reference tool to visualize the lines and points.

3D Point

  • Tool - tool delivering a 3D point (x, y and z)
  • Result - tool result to use

3D Line

  • Tool - tool delivering a 3D line (x, y and z plus extent)
  • Result - tool result to use


Visualisation

 
Distance Projection from point to line
Line Incoming line
Linedistance Distance from line start to nearest point
Nearest point Nearest point on line
Point Incoming point


Results

Nearest point.x X position of nearest point
Nearest point.y Y position of nearest point
Nearest point.z Z position of nearest point
Distance Shortest distance from point to line
Distance to line start point Distance from line start to nearest point
