To use the Distance Between utility

1. Create two locators in your scene and position them as you want to use them for the Distance Between utility node.
2. Create the Distance Between utility node (from the Hypershade, select Create > Utilities > Distance Between).
3. Connect the locators to the Point1 and Point2 attributes of the Distance Between locators.
