The mode of laying a profile on a face is called by the following option of the main command automenu:

       <D>        Lay profile on sequence of faces        

To create such a profile, do the following steps:

1. Select the original 3D profile:

       <1>        Select planar profile        

2. Select the first 3D node for defining the profile orientation on the surface:

       <2>        Select point on planar profile        

This option activates automatically right after selecting the profile.

3. Select the second 3D node for defining the profile orientation on the surface (optional):

       <3>        Select second point on planar profile        

4. Select a face or a set of faces on which the profile will be laid:

       <4>        Select surface        

An incorrect selection can be canceled using the option:

       <7>        Cancel surfaces selection        

5. Select the first 3D node for tying their original profile to the selected set of faces:

       <5>        Select first point on source surface        

6. Select the second 3D node for tying the original profile to the selected set of faces (optional):

       <6>        Select second point on source surface        

7. Flip (if necessary) the normal direction of the profile plane to the opposite (optional):

       <Tab>        Change profile orientation
