Hey Michael, would it be possible to add project to construction plane as an option in the project curve command?


Project>Select objects to project >Done>Select projection target>Object or construction plane>Done>Pick direction>Done

Thanks,

Hi shane, that sounds like a good option to add in.

Do you think it should still ask you for a projection direction when that is activated or maybe if you push a button to activate "use cplane" mode it should just automatically use the cplane's z axis direction and do the projection on that direction and finish right then.

That way it would be kind of a shortcut for putting it onto a cplane, maybe there could also be a dropdown that would let you decide between the Top, Front, and Right sides of the cplane.

Top idea Shane! At the moment I create a planar surface and project to that.

@ Michael the method you describe sounds good to me.

Cheers

Hi Michael, I think using the current viewports cplane z direction would defiantly be less steps and more productive. I kept the direction in my first post because it may be more logical following the same steps as projecting to an object. It would be great to have either way.

Thanks,

Also maybe I'll add in a "Delete input objects" option as well, since if you're projecting something that's only a little distance off from planar it can be difficult to visually see the difference between the original and the just projected one.

So that could work like this:



Then if you push "Use CPlane" button, it would use the Top, Front, or Right sides (set by the dropdown next to it) of the current cplane as the projection direction and finish right away.

Awesome Michael, that looks fantastic. I think the delete input is also a welcome addition. Thanks for your amazing support! Can't wait to try it out.
