I was trying to compute the distance between a TINSurface and some horizontal polygons (which have a z value, but they are horizontal). I have been trying multiple things to try and get the distance between this two objects. I am kind of surprised that there is not a given transformer to compute the distance or the intersection between 2 given 3d polygons. Maybe a TINSurface is a little complex, but the triangles that compose them should not be complicated.
I am a programmer and I think I can program a solution to this problem in a PythonCaller transformer, but I am really surprised there is not a simple answer for this.
So if someone knows the answer to this I would appreciate it. If not I think I’ll be forced to program it myself.
Question
Distance or intersection between 3D objects

I found a solution using the Extruder with a very small value (like 0.001 m) and then using that as a Clipper.

Hello
If you want again the geometry of your TinSurface you can use GeometryReplacer.
I think for these kind of process it’s easier to play with 3D points.
