Menu Path : Operator > Math > Geometry > Distance (Plane)

The Distance (Plane) Operator Operator takes a plane and a position and calculates:

• The closest point on the plane to the position.
• The distance between the closest point and the position.

Operator properties

Input	Type	Description
Plane	Plane	The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (closestPosition) is the closest point on this Plane to Position.
Position	Position	The Plane this Operator evaluates. The point this Operator returns (closestPosition) is the closest point to Plane from this position.

Output	Type	Description
closestPosition	Position	The position of the closest point on Plane to Position.
distance	float	The distance from Position to closestPosition. If Position is above Plane, this value is positive. If Position is below Plane, this value is negative.
