< So for example with your last image, if your source orientation is positioned with its z axis like this (z in red here):
This is my result of manually use the Function Orient! If you see on the image the little lift corner you will see the default orientation ;)


The line/line is perfect for one position on the curve !
(little trick) just take the first point on middle on the baseline objet, the second anywhere to the end line base object, and you will have easily the postion on the curve with a perpandicular helpers line ;)

And then call the normal orient for slide the object on the curve! Bingo!

But, now , i have learning by heart the tripod position for arrive on a curve // on the ground for win a using step function! :)

So now I am a little more strong for make video about the subject!
Thx for the help and sorry for my unprecise first image!

Just a question : does the last tripod of function "orient" position is memorised when you closed Moi?

And regulate the size of the tripod of the function Orient?
In the moi Ini?

and this one!
I have all disable Snaps except "On", (because I want slide on the curve) in any menus, in any options

But there is always trouble when I pass over the "ghost forms" of the original object position when I slide the object on the curve!!!
How avoid that?
If I make Alt, I am not more on the curve! :)

Hi Pilou,

No - in general points that you pick within some command are not remembered between sessions, and orient is no different than any other command in this regard.


> And regulate the size of the tripod of the function Orient?
> In the moi Ini?

No, there is not currently any setting for that in the moi.ini file - those line are scaled so that they will be a size of 150 pixels on the screen though, so they will maintain a constant size whether you're zoomed in or zoomed out.

You could move the original object off to the side somewhere so it wasn't directly on top of the area that you wanted to orient it on.

Or another possibility is to assign a name to your object and then while you are within the orient command you can go to the Scene browser Objects section and hide it and the wireframe outline of it will then be hidden.

Thx for all these precisions
