I have 2 shapefiles:
- roadway centerlines
- house points
is there a way to generate lines between each point and the nearest road centerline?

Use a NeighborFinder with the house as base and the roadway centerlines as candidate.
On the MatchedBase port use a VertexCreator in mode Add Point with the x/y values coming from _closest_candidate_x/y

Wow, thanks so much! That definitely got it going but it's not drawing all the way back to the road. Did I maybe miss something?
