Solid.minGapToPoint(point, searchLength)

Returns mesh-surface proximity records between a solid and a point.

Each returned object represents one triangle within searchLength of the point. Results are sorted nearest first. inside describes whether the point is inside or on the solid; distance is the exact point-to-triangle distance; and directionVector is a normalized vector from the input point toward the nearest point on that triangle.

Usage

const records = solid.minGapToPoint([10, 0, 0], 5);
// [
//   {
//     inside: false,
//     distance: 3.2,
//     directionVector: { x: -1, y: 0, z: 0 },
//   },
// ]

point may be [x, y, z] or { x, y, z }.

Use searchLength as the proximity radius. If no triangles are within that radius, the method returns [].
