Pull SubD Vertices to Curve?

[akilli (Ethan Gross)]

Is there a way to do this? T-Splines (please forgive me!), if I recall, had this functionality. I mean any curve, not just something for which you could use `Set XYZ Coordinates. Thanks.

Not sure is what you need but in Rhino you can both use the soft transform or the align to curve. Different workflow but same result.

SubD vertices don't align to curve

Hi @Charles , I filed this as https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-68931 for future reference. The control points or where you see the verts in box mode with the SubD are what are getting aligned to the curve but I agree either verts or ctrl pts ought to work. The workaround currently is to make a surface with the circle and then use Pull instead to get the verts on that… I also have this request on file https://mcneel.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/RH-55054 to make edge…

you should be able to
_align … to Curve
_pull … to a Surface

maybe give an example of what you re trying to achieve if above does not help.

kind regards -tom

Thanks Tom. Align to curve seems to work alright. The results seem more predictable when aligning curve to curve than with points to a curve. Guess I need practice.
