Nearest_Object.vbs

Description

This script selects a geometry feature of the type specified, nearest to the coordinates specified. The user is required to enter a feature type (Points, Lines, Surfaces or Volumes) and coordinates. A point will be created at the coordinates specified and the nearest object of the type specified is selected. This can be useful for selecting features in a certain known location in a complex model, or for checking for rogue or superfluous geometry features in CAD imported geometry that may cause connectivity problems
