Determines the distance between two points, p1 and p2. This is the same as the vector expression abs( p1 - p2 ).
Determines the shortest distance between point p and the line passing through points p1 and p2.
Determines the distance from a point p to a plane defined by three points (p1,p2,p3).
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:
dpp([3,2,4],end, end, end)
