Distance Calculation

const { Point2D, distance } = vjcad;

const p1 = new Point2D(0, 0);
const p2 = new Point2D(100, 100);
const dist = distance(p1, p2);  // 141.42...

Angle Calculation

const { getAngleBetweenPoints } = vjcad;

const angle = getAngleBetweenPoints(p1, p2);  // Radians
const angleDeg = angle * 180 / Math.PI;       // Convert to degrees

Intersection Calculation

const { GeometryCalculator } = vjcad;

// Intersection of two lines
const intersection = GeometryCalculator.lineLineIntersection(
    line1.startPoint, line1.endPoint,
    line2.startPoint, line2.endPoint
);

Bounding Boxes

// Get entity bounding box
const bbox = entity.boundingBox();
console.log(bbox.minX, bbox.minY, bbox.maxX, bbox.maxY);

// Merge multiple bounding boxes
const merged = BoundingBox.merge([bbox1, bbox2, bbox3]);
