6 - 8 Module 5.1 - Measurements Data Extraction
3.2 Point to Unbounded Surface
To get the distance from the street to the building:
•
Pick a point on the line.
•
Multiselect a second point on the surface of one box.
Take care to select a point on a face in the direction of the street.

Point to Unbounded Surface calculates the distance between the first picked point and the
nearest intersection with the surface plane of the selected object.
For measurements, surfaces are extended beyond the endpoint or boundary of the actual object
to the nearest point of intersection. For example, a measurement to the surface of a patch is
made to the nearest point on the underlying plane of the patch, which is not necessarily a point
within the boundary of the patch.
