Surface.closest_point

Surface.closest_point(point, return_parameters=False)[source]

Compute the closest point on the curve to a given point.

Parameters

  • point (Point) – The point to project to the surface.

  • return_parameters (bool, optional) – If True, return the surface UV parameters in addition to the closest point.

Returns

Point | tuple[Point, tuple[float, float]] – If return_parameters is False, the nearest point on the surface. If return_parameters is True, the UV parameters in addition to the nearest point on the surface.
