Wraps a curve onto a surface.
Steps:
-
Select planar curves.
-
Select the surface.
-
Planar curves on the x-y plane are mapped into the surface’s control polygon, and corresponding 3-D curves are created on the surface.
Note: Use the CreateUVCrv
command to generate planar versions of the u and v
curves of a surface so you can use them as a guide to orient your text. You must then also map the u and v curves along with the curves you are applying so they will act as a placeholder.

Fits a mesh that has the same number of control points
as a source mesh onto a surface.
Steps:
-
Select a mesh.
-
Select the target surface.
-
This will create a mesh that has the same number of control points
as the source mesh, and is fitted onto the selected surface. If the surface is trimmed, the mesh matches the untrimmed surface.
Notes
-
ApplyMesh succeeds only on meshes that are generated from NURBS
objects that have embedded the u- and v-direction
information. -
If you are making morph targets, mesh the most complex surface first, and then apply that mesh to the simpler surface.
-
ApplyMesh is sensitive to the u and v directions of a surface. Use the Dir
command to swap the u-direction and v-directions.
