  • [Select Target]
    Select the target object to project onto.

  • [Select Tool]

Set the projection direction with the options that appear when an Edge is selected as the target object or when a Face is selected as the tool object.

 

  • Shortest Direction : Sets the closest direction to the tool object as the projection direction.

  • Direction Vector : Sets the projection direction using a vector input.

  • [Option]

    • Infinite tool : If turned On, it is assumed that the tool object is an infinitely extended object.

    • Imprint to tool : If turned On, the intersection that is created between the target and the tool object as a result of projection is imprinted onto the tool object. As a result, the tool object becomes a polyline with the correspoing location as a Vertex.

  • Example of turning on the Infinite Tool option.

 

  • Example of turning on the Imprint To Tool option.
