Gets the point on the mesh that is closest to a given test point. Similar to the ClosestPoint function except this returns a MeshPoint class which includes extra information beyond just the location of the closest point.

Public Function ClosestMeshPoint ( 
	testPoint As Point3d,
	maximumDistance As Double
) As MeshPoint

testPoint

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Point3d
The source of the search.

maximumDistance

Type: System.Double
Optional upper bound on the distance from test point to the mesh. If you are only interested in finding a point Q on the mesh when testPoint.DistanceTo(Q) < maximumDistance, then set maximumDistance to that value. This parameter is ignored if you pass 0.0 for a maximumDistance.

Type: MeshPoint
closest point information on success. null on failure.
