New Help making a Crown

Well, I think the opposite. I shouldnt be able to line up the curve with the projected curve by looking at it along the projection axis.

As an experiment. I created a cube, then a unit circle curve. I rotate the curve 45 degrees then projected it onto edge of the cube. I then trimmed the circle curve in half, moved it to the edge of the cube, and finally rotated each half into place.

The highlighted portion of the image is my manual projection. The un-highlighted portion is what moi currently does.



I'm thinking the projection should act like the curve is a sticker, and should place it on the surface, just like if I was putting a bumper sticker on the bumper of my car....The sticker should'nt scale but only displace.

And that's why I asked for help. I layed down a club curve, but it looked stretched when I projected it for my crown.
