8.52. Compute Vertex to Triangle Distances
Group (Subgroup)
Sampling (Spatial)
Description
This Filter computes distances between points in a Vertex Geoemtry and triangles in a Triangle Geoemtry. Specifically, for each point in the Vertex Geometry, the Euclidean distance to the closest triangle in the Triangle Geoemtry is stored. This distance is signed: if the point lies on the side of the triangle to which the triangle normal points, then the distance is positive; otherwise, the distance is negative. Additionally, the ID the closest triangle is stored for each point.
