    Planar curves

    I have a problem with curves selected from a polysurface edges, the curves are not planar, extreme magnification makes them show up, is there a command or procedure to make them planar? This is causing problems with Boolean and Boss ops on a part I am working on.

    any insight on this problem is appreciated

    Re: Planar curves

    I have it now, my buddy who is much better in Rhino, directed me to "project to c plane", I couldnt get it to work in the past, as I wasnt giving it a surface for the c plane.

    All is good now.......

    Use project to C-plane and you should be good. I do that a lot for getting my 2D contours on a single layer for later use in Sprut.

    Thanks Doug,
    Joe told me about that quite awhile back but I never got it to work correctly, I wasnt creating a c plane surface for it to work with, with the surface it works perfect.

    thanks for the reply
