pt1

A 2D or 3D point list.

pt1

A 2D or 3D point list.

Return Values

The distance.

If one or both of the supplied points is a 2D point, then distance ignores the Z coordinates of any 3D points supplied and returns the 2D distance between the points as projected into the current construction plane.
