I am doing an exercise from the rhino level 1 training guide.
I want to snap to the intersection of two yellow lines in the middle of the rectangle. Unfortunately, no matter what osnap mode I turn on, it won’t snap to the intersection.
I have noticed that the locations on the curved that I can snap to seem to be (a little) thicker yellow lines.
You’re doing nothing wrong. These lines running across the surface are isocurves, and not actual geometry. You can convert it into geometry if needed with _ExtractWireframe, then End and Intersect Osnaps should work
Yea, that worked, thank you very much! The part of the intenet where I can ask a technical question and usually get a good answer from someone I have never met before is extremely nice!
Hello - Intersection OSnaps will find isocurve intersections if the selection is constrsined to the surface - this can happen automatically in a command that uses a surface as input, as in InsertKnot but you can force it with the OnSrf one-shot OSnap combined with Int.
Thank you very much for your recommendation @pascal. I wasn’t familiar with “OnSrf” and “one-shot Osnap” but it seems that snapping to ISO curve intersections works fine with only using “OnSrf”, no need to combine it with one-shot OSnap + Int.
