Hi, I’m looking for a way to project a mesh onto a surface. Ideally, I’d like find the projected surface area of the mesh at different angles, so it would be great if I could use this in Grasshopper.

looking forward to some gh experts
my mind with this one
This sounds like a reverse-reverse-engineering workflow haha
usually the challenge is to project a surface onto a mesh.

This is either very simple or very challenging (*). Get an Entry Level / indicative take (using a BrepFace - obvioulsy) :
(*) Imagine a “partially closed” Mesh (like the test Mesh) against a “partially closed” Brep … etc etc.

Thanks for your suggestions - what I ended up doing was using the native Project component in GH. This produced a mesh. Unfortunately, it was occasionally invalid, so I brought it back into Rhino, reduced the mesh by 50% and read it back into GH to get area information! Thanks!
