Projecting Points to B-Spline
You can project points directly to any arbitrary B-Spline or curve. The projected points can lie directly on the curves or can be backed off the curve by a specified amount. Each point will be projected to the closest curve among all candidates.
To Project Points to a Curve:
-
From the menu, select Construct>New Points>Project Points to B-Spline
-
At the prompt, select the curves to project to.
-
Select the points to project.
-
The Point Naming dialog will appear. Enter or select the desired group to contain the projected points. In the Add Prefix or Add Suffix field, enter a prefix or suffix that you’d like to attach to the point names, then click OK.
-
At the Probe Offset dialog, enter a distance to offset the projected points back away from the curve. This value must be positive, and always shifts away from the curve.
