closestPoint(spacePoint: Point3d, extend: VariantCurveExtendParameter = false, result?: CurveLocationDetail): CurveLocationDetail

Parameter Type Description
spacePoint Point3d search for point closest to this point.
extend VariantCurveExtendParameter if true, consider projections to the complete ellipse. If false (default), consider only endpoints
and projections within the arc sweep. Note that for an open arc, extending one end is the same as extending both ends.
