Project point to Brep

[auribe]

Hello! I would like to project a point into a Brep using C++ and Open Nurbes functions. At first I tried to use GetClosestPoint, however as the points are above the surface none point was returned. Any ideas on how to make it work?

Thanks,

Andres Uribe

Problem projecting points on BrepFace

Hi @auribe, The standalone openNURBS toolkit does not have the ability to project points onto surface, as this is a curve-surface intersection operation and the standalone toolkit does not include intersection calculations. That said, if you writing a plug-in using the Rhino C/C++ SDK, then you can project points on to surfaces or Breps using RhinoProjectPointsToBreps. See rhinoSdkUtilities.h for details. – Dale
