Project curves normal to meshes
 
 
 

How to project a curve perpendicular (normal) to one or several meshes.

The result of the projection is a degree 1 NURBS curve on the mesh. Construction history is supported so that if the input curve is modified, the degree 1 curve generated on the mesh updates.

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Select one or more curves to project, then press the Go button.

    The curves are projected onto the mesh(es) and degree 1 NURBS curves appear on the mesh.

  3. Modify the input curves if necessary.

    The projected curves on the mesh(es) update.

    Note

    These projected curves are often referred to as curves-on-mesh.
