Tip:

  • When you are projecting a planar curve along a vector, the Projection Plane Step is skipped, and the plane the curve is on is used to define the normal direction in which to project the curve. If you want to project along a different normal, you can click the Projection Plane Step button and define the plane you want.

  • You can also use the Project Curve command to project a point onto a surface.

  • You can use the command bar to specify that you want to project a single element, a chain of elements, a point, or an entire sketch.
