Distance

Computes the distance between two objects represented as:

• part bodies;
• B-Rep shapes;
• mesh shapes.

Returns the minimum distance. If the distance cannot be computed, returns -1. When requested, anchor points on the measured objects are written to the output tuple. The tuple is left unchanged when the distance cannot be computed.
