Parameters

BaseEntity

IEntity of another edge or face to get distance from this entity (see Remarks)

MinDistance

True to return minimum distance; false to return maximum distance

Parameter

For in-process, unmanaged C++:

If MinDistance = False,

• and BaseEntity is an edge or curve, specify an array of two doubles (Min, Max), where Min and Max make up the U-parameter range of BaseEntity
• and BaseEntity is a face, specify an array of four doubles (UMin, VMin, UMax, VMax), where UMin, VMin, UMax, and VMax make up the UV-parameter range of the surface of BaseEntity

If MinDistance = True,

• and BaseEntity is an edge or curve, optionally specify an array of two doubles (Min, Max), where Min and Max make up the U-parameter range of BaseEntity
• and BaseEntity is a face, optionally specify an array of four doubles (UMin, VMin, UMax, VMax), where UMin, VMin, UMax, and VMax make up the UV-parameter range of the surface of BaseEntity

For VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

Position1

• For in-process, unmanaged C++: pointer to an array of doubles (coordinates of this entity that were used to measure the distance)
• For VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

Position2

• For in-process, unmanaged C++: pointer to an array of doubles (coordinates of BaseEntity that were used to measure the distance)

For VBA, VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI: Not supported

See In-process Methods for details about this type of method.

Distance

Minimum or maximum distance between entities; if Parameter is not specified, the minimum distance

Return Value

Only face and edge entities are supported.

To populate Parameter you can find the UV parameter ranges as follows:

• For edges and curves, use IEdge::GetCurveParams2
• For faces, use IFace2::GetUVBounds
