- Figure 1 – Project Interface
Purpose:
This interface provides various methods of projecting nodes to a plane, to a mesh, or to CAD curves. The planes can be normal to global x, y, z directions or normal to a vector defined by 2 nodes or a plane defined by 3 nodes.
Optionally the projection can be performed on a copy of the selected elements. In this case the original selected elements are retained at their starting location.
Controls:
- Plane: Select plane of projection
- (Norm X/Norm Y/Norm Z/N1-N2/N1-N2-N3/To Mesh/To Curve/To Surface)
Pick node on plane of p – Pick a node on the plane of projection
- Node ID: Enter a node ID on the plane of projection (Hit enter to accept)
- XYZ: Enter x, y, z coordinates on the plane of projection
- Node1 – Enter first node ID for N1-N2 and N1-N2-N3 planes
Node2 – Enter second node ID- Node3 – Enter third node ID
- Along – Project nodes along specified direction
