dist(p1,p2) Determines the distance between two points, p1 and p2. This is
the same as the vector expression abs(p1-p2).
dpl(p,p1,p2) Determines the shortest distance between point p and the line
passing through points p1 and p2.
dpp(p,p1,p2,p3) Determines the distance from a point p to a plane defined
by three points (p1,p2,p3).
dist(p1,p2) Determines the distance between two points, p1 and p2. This is
the same as the vector expression abs(p1
-p2).
The following example returns half the distance between the centers of two
selected objects:
dist(cen,cen)/2
The following example finds the distance between the point 3,2,4 and a plane
you define by selecting three endpoints:
