Marking an area on a face
Marking an area on a face
(OP)
I need some help. I'm sure this must be possible...
I have a face which I would like to mark up with different sub-areas (which I want to name). For example, say I have a curved face that I want to define an area (say from u=0.25 to u=0.5 and from v=0.35 to v=0.6). I would like to name this "sub face" something like "yellow".
I'm sure this can be done - but I don't have a lot of CAD experience.
Help much appreciated!

In the end, I have a method that seems to work okay. First I get the points in u-v space on the face. I next join those points by a striaght line, then project that line onto the face in question. When I have a closed line I join the lines together then subdivide the face.
but thanks for your help.

Thanks to hodgo for tip. I got the same route myself some time ago and have it all coded in ug_open, but still not excuse for forgetting the star - I guess you could put it sown to holiday return rustiness!
