Extract normal vector from a distance from cloud to mesh

Hi,
I would like to calculate the distance from a cloud to a mesh (easy to do it with CC) and also i'd like to split this distance in the 3 components XYZ

how it can be done?

Ah it is not possible with meshes ... The only way to do it is to convert the mesh to a dense point cloud (with Edit > Mesh > Sample points).
