Measuring the Distance between two surfaces using ProGeomitemDistanceEval?

Hi,

 

I am trying to measure the distance between two surfaces using ProGeomitemDistanceEval method which gives output distance as 0 always.

 

lErr = ProSelect("surface,point,axis", 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &lpSelectionEdge, &lSelCount);
lErr = ProSelect("surface,point,axis", 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, &lpSelectionSurface, &lSelCount);
lErrCode=ProGeomitemDistanceEval(*lpSelectionEdge, *lpSelectionSurface, &distance);

 

Can you help what's the wrong in this code?

 

Thanks in advance.

Not sure. Can you please check API "ProSelectionWithOptionsDistanceEval"

 

Thanks,

Looks like you are passing the entire array instead of its element.

 

Check sample code:

 status = ProGeomitemDistanceEval(p_sel_arr[0], p_sel_arr[1], &dist);

 Should be 

ProGeomitemDistanceEval(lpSelectionEdge[0], lpSelectionSurface[0], &distance)

 ?

    Hi,

     

    Thanks for the help.

     

    Is there possible to measure the distance between surfaces without Use as plane option?
