What if you have a box, and you have an .x model beneath the box. And then you want to meausure the distance between each corner of the box to the face of the .x model directly beneath?
like so:

As you might have guessed it's for calculating an angle.
I've tried to do it by simply adding four objects around the main box that goes down until there is a collision, and then calculate the angle from the height difference between each object, but it was too sluggish.

Release the farbror in you!

And ofcourse the link doesn't work.. I need to get my webserver going again. These cheap hosting servers are going to be the end of the world one day.

You can use the intersect object command that dbp has.
it returns the distance.

as for the box, well you dont need an actual box.
you can workout the corner points if you know the length/width that you want to use
