Calculates the length of a feature from its start until the closest spot to a point, and adds it as a new attribute. The point coordinates are taken from attributes in the original feature.
The length is calculated along the feature up until the spot on the feature that is closest to the given point.
By default, the 2-dimensional length of the line is calculated, and any Z values, if present, are ignored. To have a 3D length calculated, the length dimension parameter should be set to 3, and then the elevations will be included in the length computation.
To calculate the length of the entire feature, use the LengthCalculator.
To calculate the distance from the start of the line to each vertex, use the MeasureGenerator.
