One way to do this:

  • NeighborFinder
    • Points are bases
    • Lines are candidates
    • Number to match = 1
  • VertexCreator
    • Add Point
    • _closest_candidate_x
    • _closest_candidate_y

The NeighborFinder will return the coordinates on the candidate (line) that are at the closest to the base (point), so you can then construct the perpendicular line (VertexCreator and the _closest_candidate_x and _closest_candidate_y attributes)
