Subject : Finding closests points on a NURB surface
Hello all, 
I am trying ti figure out the best way to do this and was wondering if
anyone knows of a XSI command/object I can call to give me back the
closest point on  NURB surface (projected to the nurbs normals).

In short given a point/x,y,z coordinate in 3D space is there a call I
can make to find the closest point on a Nurb surface (getting its u.v
values) ?

Is there a similar function that would work for closest point on a
subdivided polymesh ?


Any hints, information is welcome.
