Project 3D curves onto curved surfaces (Spheres and Cylinders)

Learn how to project a 3D curve onto a 3D surface.


3D curves can be projected onto surfaces and solids.

Procedures:

[1] Click [Projection Curve] on the "3D Curve" tab.

[2] Select each item in the property browser.
  1. Curve: 3D curve created
  2. Face: Projection face of spheres and cylinders
  3. Direction: Projected surface
[3] Click [OK].

IdeaWhen enabling "Project Backing face" on the Projecting option, line is projected onto the back of the selected face.
