Is there any tool that will allow me to move an object along another surface without setting up a flow along surface command first? I recently discovered the UVN dragmode. This lets me move a surface control point along it’s own UVN directions. What if I want to move an object along another object’s UVN? Let’s say I want to drag this cube along the surface of the sphere. Is there a tool for that? If not, could there be?

Hi Mike - I think there could be, but there is not now a way to do this.

This would be a REALLY welcome addition. In jewelry design, we often end up needing to nudge a gemstone or a prong a little on top of a compound surface. Being able to move an object along another object’s surface would be extremely helpful.

Actually the below experimental one was closer for what I think you need, but it doesn’t offer a way to do it for an object that has been placed already; rather a way to intuitively place objects on top of other objects… still, maybe it would help:

Hi @Pascal and Jarek,
Thanks for the tip. Is there any chance this could make it onto a Rhino 7 wish list? Or is it too late for that?
