Distance Line Line

Functionality

The node is designed to get the distance between two endless lines (defined by a segment) in space, also provides the point in each line that is closest to the other line and if they intersect.

Inputs / Parameters

Param	Type	Description
Verts_Line A	Vertices	It will get the first and last vertices’s to define the line segment
Verts_Line B	Vertices	It will get the first and last vertices’s to define the line segment

Advanced Parameters

In the N-Panel you can use the toggle:

• Tolerance: Minimal distance to accept is intersecting.

• Match List: Define how list with different lengths should be matched.

Outputs

• Distance: Distance between the lines.

• Intersect: Returns true if the lines intersect. (Distance < Tolerance)

• Closest Point A: Returns the closest point to the line B in the line A

• Closest Point B: Returns the closest point to the line A in the line B

• A in segment: Returns true if the closest point A is in the provided segment

• B in segment: Returns true if the closest point B is in the provided segment

Example of usage

To trim lines to its intersection point:
