How do I find the orthogonal projection of a point onto a plane

Question

Lets say I have point (x,y,z) and plane with point (a,b,c) and normal (d,e,f). I want to find the point that is the result of the orthogonal projection of the first point o

Answer 1

I've implemented this function in Qt using QVector3D:

QVector3D getPointProjectionInPlane(QVector3D point, QVector3D planePoint, QVector3D planeNormal)
{
    //q_proj = q - dot(q - p, n) * n
    QVector3D normalizedPlaneNormal = planeNormal.normalized();
    QVector3D pointProjection = point - QVector3D::dotProduct(point - planePoint, normalizedPlaneNormal) * normalizedPlaneNormal;
    return pointProjection;
}
