ReferenceFromLines3D - 117
This tool finds the unique point simultaneously being closest to (and at equal distance from) two 3D lines. The outgoing reference is translated to that position and aligned with the X axis along line1 and the Y axis as close as possible along line2 (the Z axis is perpendicular to both lines).



Setup

3D coordinate system

  • Reference - select a 3D reference for visualization and results

3D Line 1/2

  • Tool - tool delivering a 3D line (point and direction)
  • Result - tool result to use

Axis size

  • Axis visualization length - size of the displayed resulting 3D axes


Visualisation


Note: a 3D reference must be selected for visualization to work.
 
Line1 3D line 1
Line2 3D line 2
Point Nearest point to both lines
Intersect line Shortest line connecting both incoming lines


Results
Point.x X position of nearest point
Point.y Y position of nearest point
Point.z Z position of nearest point
Minimum distance Length of intersect line
