simple task. or so I thought. one line one curve !
I have a curve that is planar and leaning over at an angle in Right view. I am viewing it in front view and need to draw straight lines out from the points along it, such that those lines appear perp to the line in Front View.
I use the line perpendicular from curve tool and select my curve and I am getting a line going all over the place. Even as I pick the line the start of my line jumps along the curve somewhat !
What must I do to be able to draw perp to this curve, apparent perp that is. I guess the line is trying to be on the curves planar aspect ? LinePerpToCurveIssue.3dm (24.6 KB)

Dunno, seems to be working as expected here - I draw a line perpendicular from the curve in Front view, it is vertical looking from the Right view… I have Planar on with Point Osnap… The macro I use is:
