Project the selected shape. The user can project [Curve to Surface], [Point to Edge] or [Point on Surface].

Curve to Surface

Select the target surface and tool line for projection.

The projection direction can be set using the following 4 methods:

1. [Select direction] : Determine the projection direction vector. The user can select the datum axis, datum plane, plane or edge.

2. [2 point vector] : Determine the direction vector of the projection axis by entering the coordinates of its Start and End points. The user can also directly click on the work screen to specify the Start and End points.

3. [Point on Curve (Ratio)] : Select a point on the line. Project the shortest distance direction from the selected point to target surface.

4. [Direction of Shortest path Line] : Project in the shortest distance direction from the tool edge to the target shape.

Point to Edge

Select the target edge and tool point for projection. The selected point is projected in the vertical direction.

Point to Surface

Select the target surface (shell or face) and tool point for projection. The selected point is projected in the vertical direction.

Nearest Only

Projection is performed infinitely in the selected direction and if the target shape is a curved plane or shell, it can meet the target shape more than twice. Check this option to select only the projected shape closest to the tool shape.

Geometry set

Register the created line or point on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.

There is no function to create a straight line and project a point at the same time. Imprinting the point and connecting it to a line can be a similar function.
