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.
- Curve: 3D curve created
- Face: Projection face of spheres and cylinders
- Direction: Projected surface
[3] Click [OK].
When enabling "Project Backing face" on the Projecting option, line is projected onto the back of the selected face.Please refer to the video below.
