projectCurve

Go to: Related nodes. Attributes.

Compute the curve(s) on surface given a curve to project and the surface to project onto. If useNormal is true, the normals of the surface are used for the direction of projection. Otherwise, if useNormal is false then the project direction can be specified by the direction input. Note that the result of this operation is a 2 dimensional curve.

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
inputCurve (ic)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The input curve to project.
inputSurface (is)	nurbsSurface	NULL
The input surface to project onto.
outputCurve (oc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
Output curve(s) on surface (2 dimensional.)
direction (d)	double3
Direction of projection. Available only if useNormal is false.
directionX (dx) distance (double) 0.0cm X direction of projection.
directionY (dy) distance (double) 0.0cm Y direction of projection.
directionZ (dz) distance (double) 1.0cm Z direction of projection.
tolerance (tol)	distance (double)	0.01cm
Tolerance to fit to.
useNormal (un)	bool	false
True if the surface normal is to be used and false if the direction vector should be used instead.
