Projecting entities

I have a chain and project to a flat surface(wall) on 5 deg and the chain has lines and arcs.

 

If I select all the entities and project to the surface, how come the lines and arcs some how join into 1 entity? Is there a setting that will project them with out joining them?

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hmm,

I would like to know this too. I bet it turns them in to splines?

[MAKINOPAT]

There is a box to select in (surface projection)- join results- could that be what's causing this?

Does not give you that option on project to surface.

 

In any case that box is not checked.

Rick project onto surface

 

make sure you have it set to parametric

 

create points node points

 

run whole splie c hook

 

edit simplify

 

you should be good then

[Rick Henrickson 65]

oh I forgot a step after the create points node points you need to break the spline at those node points.

 

then run whole spline etc

 

sorry

Rick,

 

That took me a lot longer then selecting every other entity, projecting them, then projecting the rest.

 

I can almost do it as fast exporting the geometry to another software and do it in one step then importing the projected entities back to MC.

 

I am going to send it to in for a enhancement request.

 

Thanks
