    Physics.ClosestPoint has been amazing for 5.6, love it! Was wanting to know if there is plans for a Physics2D.ClosestPoint?

    Agreed, would love to see it in 2D and think it would be possibly even more useful.

    So there's the new Physics2D.Distance(), Rigidbody2D.Distance() & Collider2D.Distance() but they give you distance, points and normal between two colliders (even negative distance indicating overlap) so maybe that will help.

    I didn't spot this one going into 3D but yes, performing the "Distance" check with a world-space point would be a nice overload for it. Cannot promise when but I can confirm that I've added it to my list of utility stuff TODO.

    I'd love the contactfilter stuff in 3D while we are at it, there's some fantastic thinking in both the 2D and 3D camps but each misses something the other has :)
