Project to a point

Project to a point

Project to a point

(OP)
I am needing to project a line onto a surface towards a point that is behind that surface.  Is that possible?

ross.

RE: Project to a point

If not, use 2 lines from the endpoints of the curve you wish to project and sweep a surface down the two lines for your intersection.

RE: Project to a point

Use affinity in the transformation toolbar in the GSD module.

Set the line as element and the point as origin, set the ratio to 0.1 or similar. You will now have a line.

Use multi sect surf between the two line to create a surf.

Use intersect between your surface and the new surface.

Voila as our good frenchs would say
