Mesh Project Normal
Projects a curve normal (perpendicular) to one or more 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.
Access this tool from the Mesh tool palette:
Mesh Project Normal workflows
Select the Mesh Project Normal tool.
Select one or more meshes, and then press the Go button.
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.
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.
