Hi, perhaps you may help me - how do you bring an/any object created in "normal" 3D space into a special defined c-level plane? Thx...
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Mala, is the object a non-planar curve that you want to be projected on a plane?
Or is it a solid that you want to move so that one planar face of the solid is on a specific plane?
I'm not sure what is meant by "special defined" ... ?
Could you please post a file with a sample object and target plane? That would make it easier to understand.

...I have a profile that I created in a standard 3D space. I need to apply it to several different defined 3D spaces. Redrawing it each time is time-consuming. Therefore, I want to transpose it into the different 3D spaces. I've now chosen a very simple circle as a dummy profile to be transposed.

Hi Mala, I'm not quite understanding the 3 lines in your model, are those meant to be the x,y,z axis lines for a coordinate system on the circle?
The part that is confusing is that usually something like that should have each axis at a 90 degree angle to the other axes. But yours is not set up like that.
There is a command Transform > Orient that can move and rotate objects from one coordinate system to another.
Here is an example using Transform > Orient on your circle to reposition it:

That´s what I´m looking for. THANKS A LOT!

Hi Mala, you're welcome.
Also if you're getting stuck with how to use the Orient command there is some information on how it works here:
