Trying to calculate distance (Have been using nearestneighbour) but now require were we have a set of points in table 1 and a set of area features in table 2.

We need to calculate the distance from each point to the nearest area feature but not its centroid, the requirement is to find the distance from table1 point to the nearest edge or vertex of an area feature from table 2

 

happy to hear ideas on how to do this

thanks

The NeighborFinder does this. The distance will be output in the "_distance" attribute.
