- Find the closest point on a polyline to a given point. - Parameters:
- point[float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Point
- XYZ coordinates of a 2D or 3D point (Z will be ignored). 
- polylinesequence[point] | compas.geometry.Polyline
- A sequence of XYZ coordinates representing the locations of the corners of a polyline. The vertices are assumed to be in order. 
 
- point[float, float, float] | 
- Returns:
- [float, float, float]
