Hi Roberto,

I think you can follow these steps to get the requisite solution to your problem: -
Get Surface object for the desired surface.
Use Surface::GetClosestPointOn() to get the point closest to the surface from the point you want to check.
If the resulted point from Step 2 is same as the point you wanted to check then the point is inside the Surface.

Hope it helps!!!
