hello osrit

you can try the following

the definition evaluates a point on all the curves. the with the surface closest point the distance of tall these point from the 6 surfaces is calculated. the points are crafted so that you have the distances for each point and the six surfaces, resulting six distances for each point. the equal component outputs true or false if the distance is equal to 0. averaging the six values of true or false gives 0 or other than zero value meaning that the point is on the surface.

cheers

i did not save the definition, its easy to reproduce it from the image and it will help understand what you are doing.

the components are point on curve, surface closest point, integer, equal, average.
