# Project Curve
The drawn curve is projected onto the model surface to generate a space curve; or the sketches on two intersecting datum planes, respectively, project the surfaces in their respective vertical directions to intersect to generate a space curve
Click to enter the projection curve command, Its command interface is shown in the figure below.
There are two ways to generate projection curves: Sketch on Surface and Sketch on Sketch.
# Sketch on The Face
The drawn curve is projected onto the model surface to generate a space curve, with each control described below:
- Sketch: Only one projected sketch can be selected, and the sketch can contain only one open or closed loop.
Note:
Projection of the sketch line on the face must intersect with the face.
Projection surface: Multiple elements can be selected, which can be planes, surfaces, or planes.
Reverse: The projection direction can be switched with this option.
Example: Create a surface and sketch in a viewport, as shown in the following image:
Select the sketch to project on the surface, the effect is as shown below:
# Sketch On Sketch
Sketches on two intersecting datum planes, projecting surfaces in their respective vertical directions intersect to generate a space curve.
Its controls are described as follows:
- Sketch: Select the sketch on two intersecting planes.
Note:
Straighten the Outlines of two sketches so that when they are projected perpendicular to the datum of the sketch, their implied surfaces will intersect, resulting in intersecting curves.
Example: Create two sketches on the upper view plane and the front view plane, as shown in the following image:
Select these two sketches, and the preview is shown below:
