Project Subd Edge?

Rhino SubD
1

Hi,

I want to align some subD edges to a surface.
I noticed projecting a subD edge only duplicates the edges to curve instead of modifying the SubD itself.
I then tried with control points, I was able to project them, but I noticed it duplicates my entire SubD…

It feels like every step of the way things are not working smoothy or intuitively.

Can we have SubD geometry work correctly with projections please?

If I select and edge and project it, I want the projection to modify the SubD, as if I was moving that edge. I don’t want to extract the edge into a curve and have that curve projected. There are other commands for that such as DupEdge.

Hello- when you project the control points, make sure DeleteInput=Yes so as not to duplicate the whole thing.

Hi Pascal, yes… I did, I still feel I should be able to project an edge.

And in the case of control points, delete input should be default behavior. Imagine duplicating the SubD every time you move a control point. Madness.

Toggle the edgeloop selection to verts and Project will do what you want.

The Delete input option for Project is sticky and uses the last setting chosen.

I understand the desire to take an edge loop and project it as a sub-object transformation but there are also times a curve is expected.
