Hi all,

The point is that I need to calculate the vertical distance ( z axis) from each cell of the mesh to the wall ( patch "terrain"). I was thinking about using yPlusRAS utility but changing wallDist ( and so, PatchWave) to calculate the distance in a different way. I have some doubts about if it is possible to do it in this way.

My second option is to use meshSearch::intersection to modify PatchWave to do what I need but I do not know what is the correct sintax of this approach.

What do you think it is the easier way to do it?
Could someone help me how to use meshSearch.intersection? Something like this?

meshSearch ms(mesh);
pointIndexHit point=ms.intersection (p1,p2);
distance=point-p1;

Thank you very much
