OCCNurbsSurface.closest_point

OCCNurbsSurface.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) – Return the projected point as well as the surface UV parameters as tuple.

Returns

• compas.geometry.Point – The nearest point on the surface, if return_parameters is false.

• (compas.geometry.Point, (float, float)) – The nearest as (point, parameters) tuple, if return_parameters is true.
