Description

Calculates the distance between all source and target entities. This must be preceded by a call to a relevant hm_compareentities* command. Only the distances for the target entities are calculated. The results can be contoured or queried.

Example

To get the area of both the source and target unmatched entities for a same side comparison of elems 1-20 and 101-120:

*createmark elems 1 1-20
*createmark elems 2 101-120
