Hi Damon,
I had already started evaluating bounding box proximity right before you
emailed. The argument put to me with it was the shape of curves could be
erratic enough to give you the wrong curve. But what you point out pretty
much solves it, by narrowing down the possible nearest curves first,
I would suggest starting by checking object's distance based on their
shape's bounding box extents as opposed to the whole object. With nurbs
curves you wind up with pivots being far from where the actual curve is,
sometimes they lie at the origin no matter where the actual cvs of the
curve lie. Y
I need to write something to find the nearest curve to specific cv's
on another curve, within a given limited distance. So far, the only
idea I have is to write a plugin to evaluate the nearestPoint on
curve, for every single one of hundreds of curves, just to find out
the nearest one to the target
