Happy New Years!
I was wondering if anyone knew a method to query distance (positional/translation) between 2 objects. To be specific, I'm trying to query the distance between a CV point and the nearest vertice on selected mesh. Hope that makes sense.

The MfnMesh class has a method called getClosestPoint that sounds like what you are looking for.

Thanks a bunch Jakob!
The "mMesh.getClosestPoint" seemed to do the trick, I keep forgetting about OpenMaya's library, need to dive deeper into it.
