Location: Tool page
To Plane Subpanel
Option | Action |
---|---|
entity selector | Used to select entities for projection onto a plane. Valid entity types include nodes, elements, lines, and points. |
to plane: | Define the plane onto
which the entities selected will be projected.
|
along vector: | Define the direction
of projection. All of the selected entities will be projected
along the same direction. If you do not specify a direction, the entities are projected along the normal to the selected plane. |
To Vector Subpanel
Option | Action |
---|---|
entity selector | Select entities for projection onto a vector. |
to vector: | Define the vector onto
which the entities selected will be projected.
|
along cut plane: | Define the direction
of projection. All the entities selected will be projected along
the same direction. If you do not specify a direction, the entities are projected along the normal to the vector selected. |
To Surface Subpanel
Option | Action |
---|---|
entity selector | Select entities for projection onto a surface. |
to surface: | Define the surface(s)
to project the entities onto. Select the surface(s) in the modeling window, or click surf (or surfs, if multiple surfaces are selected) and enter the ID(s) of the surface(s) to select. Multiple surface selection is supported for points, nodes and elements, but lines continue to support only a single surface. |
along vector: | Choose a method for
defining the direction of projection.
|
To Line Subpanel
Option | Action |
---|---|
entity selector | Select entities for projection onto a line. |
to line: | Use the line list/line
path selector to select the lines to project the entities to.
|
along vector: | Choose a method for
defining the direction of projection.
