Project curves on meshes

How to project a curve, isoparm or surface edge onto one or several meshes.

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select one or more meshes, then choose Mesh > Mesh Curves > Mesh Project Curve from the tool palette.
   • Choose Mesh > Mesh Curves > Mesh Project Curve from the tool palette, then select one or more meshes, and press the Go button.
2. Select:
   • the curve(s) you want to project, in the view window that is perpendicular to the projection direction OR
   • a projection vector, then the curve(s) you want to project.See

     Create or edit a reference vector

     

3. Press the Go button in the lower right hand corner.

   Degree 1 NURBS curves are created on the mesh(es). They update if the input curve is modified.

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