Hello list,
I had a doubt, will try to explain.
I wanted to define a line in a 3d space through 2 points, and be able to find out the distance from another point to that line. Since I'm very bad at math, I wanted to know if anyone has done something similar, or knows how to get to it.
As I see it, the process goes this way:
- define a line from coordinates x1,y1,z1 to x2,y2,z2
- declare the point x3,y3,z3
- find the distance from that point to the nearest point belonging to the said line
Any existing examples with gem rendering would be great.
Thanks as usual,
