GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3)

Gets the shortest segment joining this solid to a point.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3 point)

Parameters

point GeoPoint3

Returns

GeoLine3

Remarks

The segment leaves the surface, so it has a length even for a point inside the body, where DistanceTo(GeoPoint3) reports nothing at all.

GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3, Tolerance)

Gets the shortest segment joining this solid to a point, within a tolerance.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoPoint3 point, Tolerance tolerance)

Parameters

point GeoPoint3

tolerance Tolerance

Returns

GeoLine3

GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3)

Gets the shortest segment joining this solid to a line segment.

public GeoLine3 GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3 line)

Parameters

line GeoLine3

Returns

GeoLine3

GetShortestLineTo(GeoLine3, Tolerance)
