GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3)

Gets the shortest line from this loop's boundary to a point.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3 point)

Parameters

point GeoPoint3

Returns

GeoLine3

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest line from this loop's boundary to a point, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3 point, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

point GeoPoint3

The point; it does not have to lie in the loop's plane.

tolerance Tolerance

The tolerance.

Returns

GeoLine3

The line leaving the boundary and landing on the point.

Remarks

A point off the plane stands at the same height above every point of the boundary, so the nearest place to it is the nearest place to its shadow. That makes this exact without any coplanarity.
