: Well, I have an idea around this problem. In the truth it's even feature
: request. What about changing definition of Inside method of objects ?
: I mean if it could return not only yes/no to describe object but variable
: float value to describe distance (not in units) to surface just like
: isosurface does.

  I suggested this some time ago (a year or two perhaps). It would make
the proximity pattern much faster.
