= SUMMARY =

This article offers a method for projecting a NURBS curve on a NURBS face.

The standard operation Draw -> Project NURBS on Surface will not work in this case because you are projecting a curve on a face and not on a surface. To accomplish this successfully, use the following steps:


 * 1) Make a duplicate of your NURBS face
 * 2) Convert the duplicate into a Polygon face.
 * 3) Use the ShrinkWrap function to project the curve onto the polygon face.
 * 4) Delete the Polygon face.
