Associated Parameters: GetClosestLocationNode
Introduced
7.0
UI Location
• Geometry Queries
Description
Outputs the closest location on a surface, polygon mesh, curve, point cloud or other geometry based from the input position. We strongly suggest, when possible, to use the cutoff distance option for performance reason. The smaller the cutoff distance, the faster the execution of this node.

geometry |
• Type: siICENodeDataGeometry • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextSingleton |
The geometry on which we want the closest location. |
|
position |
• Type: siICENodeDataVector3 • Structure: siICENodeStructureAny • Context: siICENodeContextAny |
The position from which we want the closest location. |

enablecutoffdistance |
• Type: siICENodeDataBool • Structure: siICENodeStructureSingle • Context: siICENodeContextSingleton |
Allows to search only within given distance. |

|
cutoffdistance |
• Type: siICENodeDataFloat • Structure: siICENodeStructureAny • Context: siICENodeContextAny |
The distance within which to search when the Enable Cutoff Distance option is turned on. |

location |
• Type: siICENodeDataLocation • Structure: siICENodeStructureAny • Context: siICENodeContextAny |
The closest location on the geometry from the input position. |
|
found |
• Type: siICENodeDataBool • Structure: siICENodeStructureAny • Context: siICENodeContextAny |
Returns true if a location was found on the geometry within the cutoff distance (when the option is on). |
Restrictions
• These structures must match: position, cutoffdistance, location, found
• These contexts must match: position, cutoffdistance, location, found
