Project Elements onto Active WP

The Project Elements command becomes available in the mode of drawing on active workplane.

The command allows projecting 3D scene elements onto the active workplane: Nodes, Patches, Profiles, Vertices, Edges, Faces, the intersection with the active workplane of these elements,  surfaces outlying. Lines or points obtained when projecting can be used to create 3D elements, or to position other lines based on which 3D elements will be created. In the latter case, the line obtained when projecting should be made Auxiliary.

All created projection lines and points are associatively rearranged as the projected 3D elements change.

The Project Elements command has three modes of projecting. Each mode has its own button in the parameters window:

To complete the command and construction lines according to the specified parameters, you need to press the automenu command or <Ctrl + Enter>.

When working with the command, you may need to change the view direction. Available methods of rotating 3D scene are described in the Managing View when Drawing on Active WP section.
