Visual Basic

Public Sub NormalDistance( _
   ByVal Element1 As Object, _
   ByVal Element2 As Object, _
   ByRef TrueDistance As Double, _
   ByRef ApparentDistance As Double, _
   ByRef DeltaX As Double, _
   ByRef DeltaY As Double, _
   ByRef DeltaZ As Double, _
   Optional ByVal CoordinateSystem As Variant _
)

Parameters

Element1: The first element.
Element2: The second element.
TrueDistance: The true distance between Element1 and Element2.
ApparentDistance: The apparent distance between Element1 and Element2.
DeltaX: The X axis component of the true normal distance.
DeltaY: The Y axis component of the true normal distance.
DeltaZ: The Z axis component of the true normal distance.
CoordinateSystem: Specifies the coordinate system that defines one of the elements. If you include CoordinateSystem input, the returned values are relative to the coordinate system.
