Houdini 20.0 Nodes VOP nodes

Distance Point to Line VOP node

Returns the closest distance between a point and a line segment defined by two end points.

The distance from the point q to the closest point the line segment from p1 to p2 is returned. The line segment is used, not an infinitely extended line, so if q is in line with p1 to p2, but not between p1 and p2, the closest distance to the line segment is returned.
