Distance from a point to surface face

Hi there,
Hoping to find out the best way to measure the distance from a point (curve, snap etc.) to the middle of a surface or solid face. Since there’s nothing to snap to, I either have to do a best guess using all viewports + elevator mode, or make2D for exact distance. There must be a better way?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anna - if you are lookingt for the closest point on the surface to the point in space, start Distance, snap to the point and then use the OnSrf snap and snap to the same point again - the actual snap location will be pulled to the surface.

The ClosestPoint command will also shortcut that further, I just remembered.
