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. THX RSM
