Does exist a script for put something perpendicular at the end of a curve?

I can easily make that with Move + some help lines and Rotation on axe
But just 2 clicks will be more friendly :)
Don't remember if that is yet existing :)

Hi

try ctrl+shift+C pick the origin the Ctrl+shift+v then pick end of the curve, should be perpendicular.

Thanks
Seems works like a charm! It's was the shortcut for "Orient" ?
A chance that these shortcuts were not used for other things :)

Hi Pilou, those are variants of copy and paste that are similar to orient.

The Ctrl+Shift+C does CopyClipboardWithOrigin - it puts the selected objects into the clipboard same as regular Ctrl+C but also allows you to pick an origin base point. This part is similar to first stage of the Orient command where you pick the base frame.

You can get the same kind of thing with regular Ctrl+C copy if you set the cplane origin to the spot you want for the base point.


Then Ctrl+Shift+V does PastePart, which pastes in the objects from the clipboard and also allows you to position them - this is like the second part of the Orient command.


You can also use the Orient command to do the same kind of thing as well.


These are part of a set of 6 commands (Orient, OrientLineToLine, OrientViewToView, CopyClipboardWithOrigin, PastePart, and ImportPart) related to orienting objects to new positions, see here for some information on them:

Yes thx
I have asked that because there is a very practical thing in SKetchup :)

Hi Pilou - one of the nice things about these tools in MoI is that they're multi-purpose - they can orient your circle perpendicular to the end of a curve, or on to another surface with the same tool, it just depends where you put the target point.

Here's an example:

Denitively tricky! ;)
That rocks!
I will save some times manipulations with helpers lines and axis rotations object :)
That's funny that we can arrive at the same result with some different method!

Some facts for my futur videos :)
