.. _auto_curve_dist_from_two_points:

*COMPUTE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINT TIME-HISTORY*
=====================================================

Computes the Euclidean distance between two points supplied as XYZ coordinate vectors. Use this worker whenever you need a scalar separation distance between two spatial locations as part of a larger time-history or geometry workflow.
