&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Menu ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This tool is accessible via the &amp;#039;Tools &amp;gt; Distances &amp;gt; Cloud/Primitive dist.&amp;#039; menu entry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Computes the mathematically correct distance between a cloud and a primitive entity or a polyline. Instead of using the 3D representation of the entity (as a triangular mesh), this method will compute the exact distance to the primitive. It&amp;#039;s faster and more accurate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Supported primitives are:&lt;br /&gt;
* Plane&lt;br /&gt;
* Sphere&lt;br /&gt;
* Cylinder&lt;br /&gt;
* Cone&lt;br /&gt;
* Box&lt;br /&gt;
* Polyline&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Parameters ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Dist_to_primitive_dialog.jpg|frame|center|Cloud-to-primitive distances dialog]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;treat planes as bounded&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: to consider plane entities as infinite planes (unchecked), or as a bounded rectangle (checked)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;signed distances&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: whether to compute signed or unsigned distances&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;flip normals&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: whether to flip the normals of the primitive&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
