Hi Mike, also instead of using project + rebuild for a case like that you could also use Edit > Trim on your box with the 2D curve as the cutting object. That will do a projection automatically in the Trim, you don't have to do it as a separate step.

My objective is to create a label on an object without cutting, trimming the base surface. Trim does help but it's trimming the surface which I don't want. Make sense?
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Mike, do you mean you want your "label" part to be a second surface that has overlapping surface area with your main one? If so you can still use Trim to do that, just use Trim to produce the label, select the label and use Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard, then undo the Trim so you go back to your original surface and then use Ctrl+V to paste in the trimmed one.
But it can be problematic later on to have surfaces that have coincident surface areas like that. The other way you could do it with Trim is to not select any pieces to discard in the Trim, just right-click at that stage of the Trim command and it will leave all the cut up pieces behind rather than removing any pieces.
If that doesn't make sense then maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to do, could you please post your 3DM model file in that case?
