Hello everyone. I’d like to know the method getting nearest point. I’ve checked and used prior methods but speed issues and memory out issues exist

There are many methods to get the distance from a point to a triangle. The problem might be in the scales of this algorithm. like geometry - Fastest way to compute point to triangle distance in 3D? - Stack Overflow For a few hundreds triangle mesh, brute force is enough. For multi thousands one, y…

Surprisngly there still doesn’t seem to be an optimal solution to this other than this brute force approach [image] getClosestFacetAtCoordinates returning null most of the time Questions Thank you for the thorough explanation - finding the closest facet on a mesh is a cri…

If your mesh has a skeleton, what about using these points coordinates for calculation?
