Get the nearest point on surface of mesh from a point outside the mesh

[Erich_Schulz]

Surprisngly there still doesn’t seem to be an optimal solution to this other than this brute force approach

getClosestFacetAtCoordinates returning null most of the time

Thank you for the thorough explanation - finding the closest facet on a mesh is a critical function for what I am doing. I am trying to think of ways to make this more accurate (projecting to a plane within the bounding box etc.). If you know about something I can do, let me know. It is currently replacing the following function, which as you may imagine is very slow: /** * Finds the point that is closest to the part's mesh. * @param {Vector3} point * @return {Vector3} Closest point on the…
