How to check feature distances using the toolkit

[CHASEONHO]

Hello everyone,

We are trying to implement a method to calculate the distance between features through the toolkit.

Our scenario is below :

1. Visit the edges of the Geomitems of the features to be compared and create an array.

2. Create ProSelection for the edges of the array.

3. Return the minimum distance between the edges of 2 features. (using ProFitClearanceCompute)

As the number of feature increases, it seems that there will be more loops and performance degradation may occur.

If you have a better idea, please let me know.

Warm Regards,

SeonHo

Hi, @Catalina 

I'm not posting to the community to ask how to calculate distances between geometry items.

I'd like to hear from community users if there's a better way to calculate distances between features than collecting geometry items of a feature and then comparing them with a double for loop.

In my opinion... implementing a hashtable or other method seems impossible, so simple iteration seems the best way..

In conclusion, I haven't found a solution yet... 😞

Thanks,

SeonHo
